- 6th International Conference on Food Contaminants: Challenges on Emerging Contaminants and Planetary Health: Book of AbstractsPublication . Vasco, Elsa; Alvito, PaulaThe 6th International Conference on Food Contaminants (ICFC2025), focused on Challenges in Emerging Contaminants and Planetary Health, was held in person from 25–26 September 2025 at the auditorium of the Museu de Eletricidade, Casa da Luz, in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal. The conference addressed the growing challenge posed by emerging contaminants (ECs) in food and the environment, emphasising how their spread through the food chain threatens food safety and public health. Discussions explored policies to reduce exposure to food contaminants, examined the health impacts of chemical and biological contaminants—including occurrence, exposure assessment, and biomonitoring—highlighted advances in analytical methods for detecting emerging contaminants, and considered the full spectrum of their toxicity. These interconnected themes framed a comprehensive dialogue on safeguarding both human health and the wider ecosystem. This multidisciplinary meeting provided a dynamic forum for established experts and early-career researchers to exchange the latest knowledge on food contaminants and their implications for human and planetary health. The scientific programme featured one keynote lecture, five invited lectures, 14 oral presentations, 43 poster presentations, and two round-table discussions. A Best Poster Award was also presented.
