Certifee Announces FFCW 2026: The Event Shaping the Future of Food Safety in Brazil

We are pleased to officially announce the next edition of FFCW, the Food Safety Summit, which will take place on July 2, 2026. The event will bring together professionals, leaders, industries and the technical community of food quality and safety in Brazil and Latin America. FFCW was created to be different: technical, strategic, inspiring and, above all, relevant. In 2026, we take an even larger step.

The major highlight: official presence of FSSC 22000 LATAM and Iberian Peninsula

It will be an honor to welcome the FSSC 22000 representative for Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula, bringing first-hand perspectives on:

• the Foundation’s global strategic vision

• the guidelines behind Version 7, expected in 2026

• how Brazilian industries should prepare for the new ISO 22002-x:2025 series

• alignment with GFSI Benchmarking Requirements 2024

• expansion of requirements related to ESG, sustainability and the SDGs

• direct impacts on audits and the maturity of management systems

This is a rare and unprecedented opportunity to hear directly from FSSC 22000 about the new cycle of one of the most recognized certification schemes globally.

For Certifee, bringing this representative to the FFCW stage is more than an achievement. It is a commitment to the technical excellence of the sector, to the updating of the Brazilian market and to the dissemination of high-level knowledge.

Why this FFCW will be significant

The global food safety landscape is moving through a period of accelerated change. The update of FSSC 22000, the restructuring of PRPs, growing sustainability expectations, focus on organizational culture and pressure from international markets require companies to evolve faster.

FFCW 2026 is designed precisely for this: to prepare Brazil for the next chapter of food safety management.

At the event, we will address:

• critical changes in FSSC Version 7

• the role of leadership in safety culture

• new PRP requirements according to ISO 22002-x:2025

• strategies for more effective audits

• the intersection between quality, ESG and competitiveness

• real cases, challenges and applicable solutions

• international trends already influencing the Brazilian market

• how suppliers, industries and certification bodies should align

As CEO of Certifee, I deeply believe that the future of food safety is collaborative, science-based and supported by intelligent management and risk-based decisions. FFCW is our channel to help drive this transformation.

A stage for those building the future of the sector

In addition to the presence of FSSC, we will have:

• technical panels with national and international specialists

• original content on compliance, certifications, PRPs, culture and ESG

• a workshop on practical implementation

• qualified networking with leading industries in the country

• launches, debates and space for innovative solutions

FFCW 2026 is set to be the largest technical event in Certifee’s history and a milestone for those who want to be prepared for the changes ahead.

Certifee: building bridges, raising standards and preparing the future

We created FFCW because we believe knowledge can transform entire chains.

And 2026 will be the year in which we stand at the forefront, directly connected to the discussions shaping global certification and contributing so that Brazil not only keeps pace with the world, but can lead.

As CEO, my commitment is clear: to be an agent of evolution, technical clarity and real market impact.

Save the date: July 2, 2026.

FFCW, Food Safety Summit 2026, will be more than an event.

It will be a turning point.

And you are invited to be part of this story.

See you there.
