SFDA is a Saudi government agency based in Riyadh, in the Riyadh region, established as an independent body reporting to the President of the Council of Ministers. Its mandate covers the safety of food and medicines for people and animals, as well as biological and chemical substances and electronic products. The authority positions itself as a science-based regulator with a remit to protect public health, overseeing risk management across food, drugs, medical devices, cosmetics, pesticides, and feed. Its activities serve a broad set of stakeholders, including the public and industry participants who rely on regulatory controls to ensure safety and quality throughout the supply chain. A notable recent development is the launch of the Regulatory AI System for Incoming Drugs to support regulatory operations at entry points for arriving pilgrims during the Hajj season, reflecting ongoing modernization of its regulatory functions and international collaboration.
