National Nutrition Strategy: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how to access national food labeling guidelines and healthy dietary standards provided by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority.

The National Nutrition Strategy provides official guidance on healthy dietary standards and food labeling to help people make informed eating choices.

Who it's for

This program is open to the general public. It is designed to serve anyone looking to better understand the nutritional content of the food they consume and how to follow healthy dietary standards within the country.

What you get

The strategy provides essential information regarding food labeling and healthy dietary standards. This includes official guidelines that explain how nutritional information should be presented on food packaging, helping you identify what is in your food. By following these standards, you can better understand the nutritional value of different items and align your eating habits with national health recommendations.

What it costs you

There is no cost to access this information. All the guidelines and standards provided under this strategy are free for the public to use and review.

The catch to know

A common issue is that some fitness professionals and trainers tend to ignore these local national guidelines. Instead of using the official standards provided by the local authorities, they often rely on international supplement standards. If you are working in a professional fitness capacity, it is important to remember that these national dietary standards are the local benchmark for food and nutrition.

How to apply

Because this is a set of guidelines and standards rather than a benefit you sign up for, you do not "apply" in the traditional sense. Instead, you access the information to inform your lifestyle or business:

  1. Visit the official portal.
  2. Navigate to the sections regarding nutrition and food standards.
  3. Review the specific guidelines for food labeling and dietary health.
  4. Use these standards to inform your personal diet or professional training advice.
