A new publication from the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) examined the growing presence of microplastics in the environment and the human body, highlighting ongoing scientific uncertainty about their health effects while outlining recent federal efforts to better understand and reduce exposure.
The X56 DXD+ is a dual-energy photon-counting X-ray inspection system designed for improved detection of low-density physical contaminants in complex packaged food applications.
The system provides 1,000 millimeters of inspection coverage and supports belt speeds of up to 76 meters per minute. An optional integrated barcode reader enables inspection of mixed cases and supports multilane production environments.
Moringa oleifera seed extract could potentially serve as a sustainable alternative to conventional alum coagulants for microplastic removal in drinking water treatments, while also allowing for process simplification and cost savings.
The line combines PPM’s frying, seasoning, and product handling systems with Key’s optical sorting technology into a unified processing solution, from slicing through packaging.
The free resource outlines practical ways to identify risks, select the right inspection technologies, and build a proactive foreign material contamination prevention strategy, focusing on five key areas of food safety management.
In this bonus episode of Food Safety Matters, Kye Luker, Chief Product Officer at FlexXray, discusses the significant challenge of foreign material contamination, and how food processors can improve detection and inspection with advanced technologies and third-party partnerships.
The system was developed for vegetable processors handling multiple SKUs, mixed products, and frequent production changeovers. COMPASS is ideal for fresh and individually quick frozen (IQF) corn, peas, and green beans.
