Foreign object control is more than just putting a metal detector at the end of the line. Foreign object hazards in foods pose significant public health risks, can lead to costly economic impact, and can directly affect food security and sustainability. Foreign object risk must be identified as part of a HACCP plan for every manufactured food to determine where the most effective control(s) should be implemented for every production run.  

Loma Systems' will launch its new CW3 RUN-WET Combo System at PACK EXPO 2021 in Las Vegas.

Eriez Product Manager Metal Detection Ray Spurgeon has announced that 6 and 18-inch belt sizes are now available for the Xtreme Metal Detector Conveyor Systems with Automatic Rejects.

Detection of foreign objects such as metals is a high priority for food processors, especially when in 2019 alone the United States Department of Agriculture reported that 17 million pounds of food were impacted by recalls due to “extraneous material.” 

Technology is not the end-all when it comes to safeguarding meat and poultry from foreign-object contamination.
