Foreign Material Contamination: Why In-Line Reinspection Isn't Enough

KEYWORDS: contamination / food safety / foreign material
4/8/26 11:00 am to 4/8/27 EDT
Contact: Vania Halabou

When potential foreign material contamination occurs, getting to the bottom of what product is affected is critical to making a sound food safety decision. But many producers choose to try to gather that data with the same in-line detection equipment that first flagged the issue. This means they are potentially missing foreign material—increasing the chance of a potential recall.

 In this webinar, we will discuss the issues behind using in-line equipment for reinspection and why it not only leads to less accurate results, but also may be costing you more resources in the long run.

Key Takeaways: 

  •  Why reinspecting with in-line equipment is not sufficient when it comes to potential foreign material contamination 
  • How third-party inspection can provide more accurate data for your disposition
  •  How to think about the ROI of using an external inspection partner versus reinspecting in-house
