Saudi food supplement file-development support

Dietary Supplements SFDA GHAD Platform Registration

We help brand owners, importers and manufacturers organise formulation, label, factory and document decisions before a product is filed with the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA). Work begins by confirming the likely product classification and route, not by assuming every product described as a supplement follows the same requirements.

The short answer

Our scope can cover formulation review, technical-file organisation, label review, support with the applicable electronic platform, foreign-factory document collation and contract-manufacturing coordination. SFDA decides classification, requirements and whether an application is accepted or refused. GNSCO is not SFDA and does not issue registration.

When is this service useful?

  • A founder testing a supplement concept before choosing a factory or buying packaging.
  • An established brand introducing a product, formulation or factory to Saudi Arabia.
  • An importer organising responsibilities across the factory, agent and local file.

Six workstreams that can be scoped separately

Formulation review

Organise ingredients, quantities, dosage form and proposed use, and identify questions that need evidence or a decision before manufacture.

Technical-file preparation

Build a document list connecting product specifications, analyses, certificates and factory data through controlled versions.

Label review

Compare mandatory fields, ingredients, warnings and claims with the formulation, supporting evidence and applicable rules.

Ghad or applicable platform support

Help the client team organise data, attachments and follow-up in the correct SFDA route after classification and service are confirmed.

Foreign-factory documents

Index establishment, quality, free-sale, agency and specification documents and identify gaps or conflicts before filing.

Contract-manufacturing coordination

Turn the formula, pack, testing and minimum order into a clear scope showing brand, manufacturer and laboratory responsibilities.

What do we need to start?

  • Ingredient quantities, dosage form and proposed pack size.
  • Current label or marketing copy and any intended claims.
  • Factory, country-of-origin, certificate and analysis information.
  • The Saudi entity and its role as brand owner, manufacturer, importer or distributor.

A reviewable working process

  1. Confirm the product and objective

    We establish the assumed classification, market, pack, factory and current stage.

  2. Separate gaps from decisions

    We distinguish missing documents, commercial choices and questions that require SFDA reference.

  3. Prepare and reconcile the file

    We organise formulation, label, specifications, certificates and attachments through consistent versions.

  4. Support filing and comments

    We help upload, track comments and structure responses within the agreed scope.

Send the formulation and label before choosing a scope

At concept stage, an ingredient list, product format and target market are enough to begin. For a developed product, send available factory specifications, artwork and certificates so gaps can be mapped first.
