Saudi Food and Drug Authority Launches Multi-Lingual Awareness Campaign During Hajj Season


The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) has carried out a comprehensive awareness campaign to safeguard the health and safety of pilgrims undertaking Hajj in 1445 AH.

The initiative includes awareness pavilions at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah and Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Madinah, operational until the 8th of Dhu al-Hijjah, which provide information on food safety, medications, medical devices, and other products relevant to pilgrims.

Furthermore, SFDA is disseminating awareness messages in nine of the languages most widely spoken among pilgrims. These messages, containing crucial product safety information and advice, are distributed through gifts equipped with barcodes for easy access to additional details.
