The SAFE’s 2025 Annual Conference, “Consumers Come First: Advancing Consumer Protection through Research”, will take place on 20 November 2025 from 09:00 to 17:30 at Martin’s Brussels EU, located in Boulevard Charlemagne 80, 1000 Brussels.
SAFE’s 10th Annual Conference will discuss key topics about consumer protection regarding food, food waste, and sustainability, with a focus on sustainable packaging through the R3PACK project, and with the participation of Members of European Parliament and representatives from the European Commission, along with other guests from industry, academia, and other civil society organisations.
R3PACK is a three-year EU-funded project, developing packaging reuse schemes and fibre-based packaging, which ends this year. Its outcomes will be presented by experts from French environmental consultancy (RE)SET, with participants from the retail sector who are involved in the project.
The Annual Conference will see the launch of BiteWatch, SAFE’s new food scanner application for smartphones with valuable information about thousands of food products, which will be available for iPhone and Android, in English, Spanish, French, and Italian.
It displays nutritional information like levels of salt, sugar, and saturated fat, as well as details on additives, degree of processing, and whether the product is vegan or vegetarian, empowering consumers to make healthy and conscious food choices.
Misleading labelling practices in food products, innovations for food waste reduction across the food chain, and sustainability from the angle of geographical indications will also be discussed.
