Vitafoods Europe 2027 Barcelona: Nutraceutical Event Guide
By Ilyas Kerbal,
Vitafoods Europe is the global nutraceutical event for health ingredients, supplements and functional foods. More than 30,000 attendees and around 1,300 exhibitors are expected at Fira Barcelona Gran Via (Halls 2–5). The 2027 edition runs from 18 to 20 May 2027.
Brand owners, product developers and buyers meet ingredient suppliers and contract manufacturers. It is a strong business-development environment, but crowded with suppliers chasing the same brands.
