The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) regulates and monitors food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices to ensure the safety, quality, and compliance of products sold in Saudi Arabia.

Why SFDA Certification?
The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) regulates and monitors food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices to ensure the safety, quality, and compliance of products sold in Saudi Arabia. Obtaining SFDA Certification is mandatory for manufacturers and exporters who want to sell food, beverages, or cosmetics in the Saudi market. It ensures products are safe for consumption or use and meet Saudi health and hygiene standards.

What is SFDA Certification?
SFDA Certification is an official approval issued by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority that verifies a product’s compliance with Saudi technical regulations, including ingredient safety, labeling accuracy, and packaging requirements. The certificate guarantees that the product is free from harmful or banned substances and is manufactured under hygienic and quality-controlled conditions.

Process of SFDA Certification

  • Product Classification – Determine whether the product falls under the food or cosmetics category.
  • Application Submission – Register the product on the SFDA online portal with all required documents and details.
  • Document Review – Submit ingredient lists, manufacturing licenses, safety data sheets, and product labels for evaluation.
  • Laboratory Testing – Conduct product testing in SFDA-approved laboratories to verify safety and compliance.
  • SFDA Evaluation – The authority reviews test reports and documents to ensure the product meets Saudi standards.
  • Issuance of Certification – Upon successful assessment, the SFDA Certificate is issued, allowing the product to be legally imported, marketed, and sold in Saudi Arabia.

The SFDA Certification assures consumers and regulators that your food and cosmetic products are safe, high-quality, and fully compliant with Saudi laws—enabling smooth market entry and distribution in the Kingdom.
