Dr. Al Kanhal added that the purpose of SFDA meeting with merchants is to explain SFDA’s stand regarding rejection of entry of violating shipments to the Kingdom, putting consumer health and safety on top of all other considerations, which is the primary goal SFDA was established for.
It worth mentioning that the forum was attended by SFDA Vice President for Food Sector, Dr. Mehaizie, SFDA Vice President for Drug Sector, Dr Bawazir and SFDA Vice President for Medical Devices & Products Sector, Dr. Al Tayar.
