The push for world-class quality and safety standards under Saudi Vision 2030 has made advanced inspection technology, particularly metal detection and X-ray inspection, a critical focus for businesses across the Kingdom. Compliance with the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) mandates is driving rapid technology adoption, supported by local experts.
1. The Latest in SFDA Food Safety Inspection
The news emphasizes the SFDA’s ongoing commitment to consumer protection, notably through new draft technical regulations on contaminants and an enhanced focus on post-market surveillance (PMS).
• Zero-Risk Food Production: Food and beverage manufacturers must now go beyond basic checks, focusing on comprehensive detection of all foreign materials. Industrial metal detectors are a mandatory Critical Control Point (CCP) to eliminate ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants that originate from machinery wear.
• Integrated Detection is the Standard: To meet both SFDA and international export standards, the industry consensus is to integrate X-ray Inspection systems. This dual approach ensures the detection and removal of non-metallic hazards, such as glass, bone fragments, and high-density plastic, which standard metal detectors cannot find.
• Compliance and Brand Integrity: Investment in high-sensitivity, calibrated inspection equipment is the primary defense against costly SFDA-mandated recalls and damage to brand reputation in the highly competitive Saudi market.
