Keeping Food Safe with Product Inspection Technologies

Keeping Food Safe

Food safety is a top priority in the food industry, and with increasing consumer demands for safe and high-quality products, manufacturers must implement robust measures to help ensure the integrity of their food offerings. This article explores the vital role of product inspection technologies in keeping food safe. By automating the detection and rejection of foreign body contaminants, ensuring precise weight and protecting businesses through realtime monitoring of all inspection activities, these cutting-edge technologies are helping to revolutionise food safety practices.

Detecting Metal

The presence of foreign bodies in food can lead to serious health risks and costly product recalls. To combat this issue, manufacturers can employ advanced metal detection systems. These systems utilise electromagnetic fields to detect and reject metallic contaminants in various food products, in a pipeline, under free-fall conditions, or on a conveyor. From dry goods like chocolates to wet foods like dairy products, metal detection systems can be seamlessly integrated into the production process, acting as a critical control point for foreign body detection.
