Food safety in packaging is one of the most critical aspects that every restaurant and cafe in Saudi Arabia must prioritize. In this section of the G-Pack Knowledge Center, we provide specialized guides on food safety standards and requirements in packaging materials according to Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) regulations and international standards. Our articles cover vital topics including: materials permitted for food packaging in Saudi Arabia, the difference between safe food-grade plastics (PET, PP, PLA) and non-food-grade plastics, requirements for grease and oil resistance in fried food containers, and heat resistance standards for hot food packaging. We also review tracking requirements and production/expiration date labeling on packaging. Our articles discuss the risks of using non-approved packaging materials, such as chemical migration from plastic to food when heated, and the importance of using microwave-safe containers. We also provide practical guides on how to verify that your packaging suppliers comply with SFDA standards and provide food compliance certificates. Whether you run a restaurant, delivery service, or food production line, you will find the information needed to ensure your customers' safety and compliance with Saudi regulations.
