The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) announced the implementation of new food technical regulations aimed at enhancing transparency and helping consumers make more informed food choices. The regulations require restaurants and food establishments to provide clearer nutritional information for menu items, including calorie-related details.
The initiative is intended to support public health goals by increasing consumer awareness of nutritional content and encouraging healthier eating habits. It also strengthens consumer protection by ensuring that nutritional information is more accessible and consistent across food service establishments.
Food businesses operating in Saudi Arabia are expected to prepare for compliance with the new labelling and disclosure requirements as part of the Kingdom's broader efforts to improve nutrition and public health outcomes
