Health and nutritional control are considered one of the most important factors that preserve the safety of citizens and ensure a healthy and safe life for them. In this context, the importance of the role of food and drug authorities in various countries is highlighted. Recently, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia witnessed notable success by the Food and Drug Authority in the field of health oversight, as it succeeded in seizing 600 packages of expired public health pesticides.
This notable achievement took place in one of the Qassim outlets, during the regular inspection tours conducted by the Authority. This process not only reflects the efficiency and accuracy of supervisory work, but also confirms the Authority’s deep commitment to ensuring food and drug safety for citizens.
Fruitful cooperation between the bodies and stakeholders
It is worth noting that this achievement would not have been achieved without the close cooperation between the Food and Drug Authority and other concerned parties. Violators were referred to take legal action once morest them, which reflects the seriousness in dealing with such violations that may threaten public health. This cooperation demonstrates the importance of teamwork in achieving the goals of health and food control.
The Food and Drug Authority’s efforts were not limited only to internal regulatory work, but it also appealed to citizens to be part of this regulatory system. The Authority called on citizens to report any establishments subject to its supervision by calling the unified number 19999 or through the “Tamni” application. This reflects the authority’s commitment to transparency and interaction with the public, and enhances the citizen’s role in protecting public health.

Positive impact on public health and food security
It is important to emphasize that these efforts directly contribute to enhancing food security and protecting public health in the Kingdom. Capturing expired pesticides and removing them from the market prevents health risks that may result from their use. This confirms that prevention is better than cure, and that careful and continuous monitoring is the way to achieve a healthy and safe society.
