A foremost concern of food processors is the safety and quality of food. Cases of foreign material contamination are reported every year, leading to recalls and potentially compromising the safety of consumers. This fallout can prove to be costly and damage the reputation of a food processor’s brand.
Food manufacturers must keep their products safe, which takes proactive steps to inspect products for foreign objects and meet or even exceed food safety regulations.
Metal detectors can offer an effective defense by identifying stainless-steel, non-ferrous and ferrous metal contaminants in food products. Metal detection has been used by food processing facilities for many years and is a tried-and-true inspection solution. But this method comes with certain risks and challenges.
