The “5th International Conference on Food Contaminants: Challenges on exposure assessment, health impact and sustainability of food systems”(ICFC2023) took place between 4 and 6th september and was held at the Instituto Agronómico de Campinas, Brazil. This event, under the responsibility of INSA, was held in a hybrid format, in a close collaboration with CESAM, University of Aveiro and the Faculty of Animal Science and Food Engineering, University of S. Paulo, with the support of FAPESP and SCBTA. The event took place for the first time outside Portugal with the motto “Let's Open Horizonts” with the aim of contributing to strengthening collaboration between Portugal and Brazil in the field of food safety and human health. ICFC2023 featured four sessions that included topics such as the occurrence of contaminants, assessment of human exposure and health impact, sustainability of food systems and collaborative networks and their impact on society. These sessions included a plenary lecture by EFSA on food sustainability, food safety and human health, nine presentations by guest speakers from Europe and Brazil, 17 oral communications by participants and two round tables, with three brief communications each. Around a hundred participants from 12 countries in Europe, Latin America and Africa were present and 57 posters were presented, with a selection for the best poster award.
