For export of bone broth, the Department received advice from the Saudi Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) that, in addition to a halal certificate issued by a Halal Certifying Body recognised by SFDA, they require assurance that the product source is derived from healthy animals that have no apparent evidence of any contagious and/or infectious disease.
To meet the latter requirement, the department issues a Certificate as to Condition EX188M (manual) with the following endorsement:
- "This product contains ingredients which have been sourced and derived from healthy animals which have been inspected and have no apparent evidence of any contagious and/or infectious disease as listed by the OIE."
Bone broth requires a halal certificate issued by a Halal centre recognised by Saudi Food and Drugs Administration (SFDA). A list of SFDA recognised Halal certifying bodies can be found at مركز حلال (sfda.gov.sa).
Exporters are to provide a declaration stating
- the name and address of the source establishment; and
- an ante-mortem inspection was conducted at the establishment prior to slaughter.
