Expanding your food business into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) in 2026 means complying with strict regulatory standards set by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA). Whether you’re exporting packaged foods, beverages, dairy, or other consumables, obtaining an SFDA license for food products is mandatory before selling, importing, storing, or distributing in Saudi markets.
What Is an SFDA License?
An SFDA food license is an official authorization from the Saudi Food and Drug Authority that certifies your food product meets local safety, labeling, and quality standards. The SFDA regulates all food products entering or circulating in Saudi Arabia to protect consumer health and guarantee compliance with Saudi food safety laws.
Key Requirements for 2026
To successfully obtain your SFDA license, you’ll need to follow these essential steps:
Register a Business Entity
- Create an SFDA Account
- Submit Required Documents
- Meet Technical Standards
- SFDA Review & Approval
Benefits of SFDA Licensing
Obtaining an SFDA license helps your brand:
Clear Customs with Ease: No SFDA approval means shipments may be held or rejected at Saudi ports.
Access Major Retailers: Supermarkets, online platforms, and distributors require formal SFDA registration.
- Enhance Consumer Trust: Licensed products build confidence among Saudi consumers and business partners.
