The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) is the government body responsible for regulating and monitoring food, medicines, medical devices, and related products in Saudi Arabia. Its mission is to protect public health by supporting the safety and quality of products available to consumers and overseeing the facilities and businesses involved in their supply. The authority provides services for individuals, healthcare practitioners, investors, and regulated organizations, including licensing and transaction inquiries, product information, and guidance on requirements for facilities, products, and imported shipments.

Its online resources include regulations, educational guides, open data, frequently asked questions, and interactive tools such as food nutrition and caffeine calculators. The SFDA also operates food alert systems, publishes safety warnings and product recalls, and addresses rumors with evidence-based information. Through inspection, monitoring, public communication, and collaboration with local and international partners, it works to strengthen oversight across the food, pharmaceutical, medical device, and cosmetics sectors.

The authority also shares statistics, news, research resources, and workshops to help inform consumers and industry professionals
