SACC opens first day-care center at Jeddah airport

JEDDAH: The Saudi Airlines Catering Co. (SACC) has inaugurated the first day-care center in the catering unit at King Abdul Aziz International Airport in Jeddah.
The center, which will accommodate female employees’ children, was inaugurated by SACC CEO Wajdi bin Mohammed Al-Ghabban in the presence of the airport’s General Manager Issam bin Fouad Noor and executive heads of SACC institutions and strategic units.
Al-Ghabban said: “We made sure to establish a day-care center with international standards to provide a safe environment for the employees’ children.”
He added: “The center is managed by a specialized team that was carefully trained to provide all the needs of children and infants. The fewer distractions, the more engaged and productive my fellow colleagues will be.”

Saudi watchdog issues warning over recalled Nestle baby formula

RIYADH: The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) on Tuesday warned against consuming selected Nestle infant formula products after the company issued a voluntary recall over potential contamination.

The advisory covers products marketed under the NAN, ALFAMINO, S-26 GOLD and S-26 ULTIMA brands, which may be contaminated with cereulide, a toxin produced by Bacillus cereus bacteria that can pose a risk to infant health, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

The SFDA said the recall is a precautionary measure and confirmed that no related illnesses have been reported, SPA added.

Possible symptoms of exposure include nausea, repeated vomiting and abdominal pain.

Consumers have been advised not to use the affected products and to dispose of them immediately.

The authority said it is coordinating with Nestle to withdraw the products from the market and is monitoring the process.

Details of the affected products and batch numbers have been published by the SFDA, which urged the public to report food safety concerns via its unified call centre on 19999.
