Using External X-Ray Inspection to Save More Product Impacted by Foreign Material Contamination
Thursday, May 9; 11:30am - 12:00pm
The impact to revenue and your brand from a foreign material contamination incident can be massive – but most producers lack the resources to do more than flag an issue in-house. In-line equipment is often just the initial indicator to identify issues and internal rework is often not an option due to equipment and labor availability.
External x-ray inspection services provide food producers a new tool to use following an incident that is more accurate in identifying affected product and cuts out the bottleneck of internal rework.
In this presentation we’ll share best practices around building external inspection into your SOPs following a FMC incident, and how it can help salvage more product to send to commerce.
