EXHIBITION AND NETWORKING
The future of food security under discussion.
The PFS'26 is the central meeting point for decision-makers, auditors, and technicians seeking excellence. A focused day on technological innovation, security culture, and new European directives.
O Portugal Food Safety 2026 is the national excellence congress designed for professionals across the entire agri-food value chain. In a market where transparency, rigor, and consumer trust are non-negotiable, food safety requires absolute commitment and collaboration from all stakeholders.
The agenda delves into the critical points of primary production and industry, the complex demands of logistics, packaging, and labeling, up to the rigorous dynamics of large distribution and retail.

Strategic discussions with regulators and industry thought leaders.
Technical Sessions
Practical solutions and business innovations in dedicated rooms.
