CEIA MS-21 multi-spectrum metal detectors from Heat and Control, Inc. are designed to increase inspection productivity by eliminating the waste and delay of false rejects.

The food microscopist charged with the laboratory identification of foreign bodies reported from food products will have to use a wide range of techniques in this work.

Foreign material such as glass, wood, metal, fruit pits, bone or stones have the potential to cause injury.  

PerkinElmer, Inc. on Oct. 31 introduced the DairyGuard™ milk powder analyzer, a near infrared (NIR) spectrometer specifically developed for food suppliers and manufacturers to test for unknown adulterants as well as known compounds, such as protein, moisture and fat content.

Meritech has introduced a new line of boot scrubbing machines that completely sanitize employees’ rubber boots by continuously applying strong sanitizing solution through a series of high-pressure nozzle jets onto continuously rotating brushes.

Anritsu recently debuted Detection360™, a proprietary process to advance quality control programs and ensure superior ROI by securing all points of detection within the processing environment, while also reducing risks associated with unwanted contaminants or missing items in a company's products.

PolyScience introduces two products for controlling temperature during respirometry applications: a heated circulator and a recirculating chiller.

Ample technology exists for the detection of foreign material in foodstuffs to ensure food safety, which should be complemented by quality control practices.

Standardized practices and procedures are the backbone of a laboratory and ensure consistent and reliable results.

When we examine the food safety risks of plastic contaminants in food products, we are faced with a number of possibilities.
