Main Plenary - Food Integrity 2021

Food Integrity 2020 is postponed

We have made the difficult decision, after careful consideration and the recent escalation of events related to the Coronavirus outbreak, to postpone Food Integrity, originally scheduled for 18-19 March in London, United Kingdom.

This decision has not been taken lightly, but in the current circumstances, we feel that this is the only possible course of action to ensure the safety of all our stakeholders.

We appreciate your understanding in these unprecedented times and we will soon confirm a suitable alternative date in the autumn.

Please contact us with any questions you may have.
