Meet the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG) at FoodTech 2026!
At the EHEDG booth in hall M you can meet hygienic design experts and have a talk about all topics of hygiene, design, risk management, training and project management. At the EHEDG learning station you can test your knowledge, obtain a ‘mini-diploma’ and have a glimpse into EHEDG training programs. There is also an opportunity to have a preliminary design review performed on a new idea for processing equipment, sensors, etc. The evaluation will be performed by an EHEDG Authorized Evaluation Officer.
EHEDG provides clear, widely accepted design principles and certification that help demonstrate hygienic performance, differentiate products in the market, and meet customer and regulatory expectations. Design according to EHEDG guidelines reduces contamination risks, improves cleanability, supports compliance with food safety standards, and helps achieve more efficient and reliable production. Overall, EHEDG helps align engineering design with food safety, benefiting the entire food supply chain.
EHEDG Activities Program at FoodTech 2026
In association with FoodTech 2026 the European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group (EHEDG) is offering a setup where visitors will have the opportunity to participate in a series of short, inspiring talks that complement the hands-on activities in a Tech Playground. Over three days, the program will explore the knowledge, methodologies, and future technologies that are shaping the next generation of safe and efficient food production.
The seminars are designed for anyone with an interest in hygienic design and food safety. The seminar area is located right next to the EHEDG Tech Playground area, where practical learning, expert dialogue, and industry networking are combined.
