New Colourful range of Metal and X-Ray Detectable Products
Improve your food safety and quality with our new Metal and X-ray detectable products
These Metal and X-Ray detectable utensils are designed for use in direct contact with food. Food contact utensils pose the highest risk of foreign body contamination of the product. These new detectable, coloured products are aimed at increasing your chance of detecting the small pieces of plastic that may come off during use.
The range is now available in 5 very clear colours that are very close to the standard Vikan colours.
Additionally, we have added our 12-litre bucket and lid to this range.

Questions & Answers
Our Hygiene Specialist Debra Smith answers 9 questions about metal detectable products.
Metal detectable plastics use in cleaning tools and utensils - does it reduce foreign body risk?
Foreign body contamination of foods can be a safety or quality issue, or both. Regardless, if a food is contaminated by a foreign body, the repercussions for the food business can be expensive and damaging.
Metal detection is a well established and effective method of reducing the risk of metal fragments in commercial food products. Control of plastic foreign bodies is more difficult. Metal detectable plastics have been developed with the intention that metal detectors can also be used for their detection but how detectable are these plastics?

Metal Detectable Brush Bristles
One source of foreign body contamination is food industry cleaning brushware, where the bristles can snap, be cut, or detach from the brush head and enter the food product. Brushes with metal detectable bristle are available to the food industry and have been marketed as a way of detecting foreign bodies from this source, but do they work?
