Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) (Arabic: çÃÂÃÂÃÂæé çÃÂùçàé ÃÂÃÂúðçá ÃÂçÃÂïÃÂçá) is an independent body for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that aims to ensure food and drug safety for the nation.
The Authority was founded in August 29, 2003. The Saudi Ministry of Health has given it responsibility for the regulation of pharmaceuticals, and it is an influential organization among states within the region.
In 2016, members of the Authority and others published a study that compared the Authority with the best practices of comparable ones in Australia, Singapore, and Canada.
The Food and Drug Administration has an agreement with the SFDA.
