  8. The history of food safety: from metal detectors to x-ray systems

    the-history-of-food-safety-detectamet

    The history of food safety has been one of manufacturers versus contaminants. As such, food hygiene has always been a crucial concern in food manufacturing. Since your products are going to be eaten or drunk by customers, you have to ensure the user will come to no harm.

  9. 6 most common foreign matter food processing contaminants

    6-most-common-food-processing-contaminants

    Before processed, packaged and manufactured food goods arrive on consumers' plates, they undergo stringent processing workflows and regulations to ensure safety. Like a knife and fork, safety and tasty should always go hand in hand.

    However, as history has shown, breakdowns in these processes can sometimes result in food products becoming contaminated. The last thing any food manufacturer wants is for a foreign object to find its way into a product. After all, physical contaminants not only threaten consumer safety but can trigger widespread product recalls, resulting in costly business disruptions.

    To help mitigate these risks, our food safety experts have identified the six most common physical contaminants found in food processing and outlined how you can safeguard your products against them.
