What is Dubai International Food Safety Conference 2026?

The Dubai International Food Safety Conference (DIFSC) is the flagship food safety and halal compliance conference in the GCC, jointly organised by Dubai Municipality's Food Safety Department and the Dubai Chamber. The 2026 edition covers advances in halal fraud detection, blockchain-based halal traceability, HACCP and ISO 22000 integration with halal management systems, and emerging contaminants affecting halal status. Attracts food safety officers, certification auditors, and regulatory officials from across the Arab world.

Your guide to Dubai

Dubai is one of the easiest cities anywhere for a Muslim traveller. The UAE is a Muslim-majority country, so halal food is the norm rather than the exception, mosques and prayer rooms are everywhere (including every mall, metro station and the airport), and prayer times are widely observed. English is universal, and the Metro plus ride-hailing make getting to venues like the Dubai World Trade Centre and Expo City simple.
