What is Highfield Food Safety Training and Why Does SFDA Require HACCP Certification?

Food Safety Training by Highfield International is a UK-accredited certification program covering food hygiene, HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point), and food safety management systems required by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) for restaurants, hotels, catering companies, hospitals, and food processing facilities across Jubail, Riyadh, Jeddah, and throughout Saudi Arabia. This internationally recognized training prevents foodborne illness, ensures SFDA inspection compliance, and protects businesses from the SAR 500,000-3M costs of contamination outbreaks and facility closures.

In Saudi Arabia, food safety training must meet SFDA requirements for food handler certification and HACCP implementation
