The National Committee for Nutrition held the second meeting of its third session today. The meeting was chaired by H.E. Prof. Dr. Hisham S. Aljadhey, CEO of the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA). Members from government and private sector entities also attended.

Held at the SFDA headquarters in Riyadh, the meeting's agenda included a review by the Committee’s General Secretariat of the strategic performance report.
