With over 50 recalls due to foreign material contamination in 2024, food producers have rightfully continued to invest time and resources into detection equipment and more focus on process. But when equipment flags a problem, remediating without having to resort to landfill disposal is challenging to manage in-house.

In this presentation we’ll discuss how a third-party inspection partner can:
• Reduce the need for in-house labor and resources for re-inspection
• Produce more accurate reporting on affected product
• Give you access to leading-edge detection equipment not typically found in-line in production facilities
