João Cardoso, Adelino Canário and Inês Leal went to Namibe, in Angola, for the second sampling field trip of the project HeathyBi4Namibe.

At this event, companies had the opportunity to learn about new technologies such as smart labels and packaging that improve the monitoring of seafood quality.

Our researchers Adelino Canário and João Cardoso flew to Namibe to study the threats and possible contaminations of shellfish.

The ingestion of contaminated bivalves are a common public health problem in Africa. The new CCMAR project, HealthyBi4Namiby, wants to improve food safety and reduce health risks for the consumption of bivalves in Angola.
