Metal Detection

Metal detectable plastics can support your foreign body prevention strategy by improving the likelihood of identifying plastic contamination during metal detection. This section introduces how these materials function, where they provide value, and how to apply them effectively within a risk-based food safety approach.

You will find guidance on choosing and maintaining metal detectable tools, as well as on optimising metal detection systems to enhance the detection of both metal and metal detectable plastic contaminants. This resource helps ensure these tools are used appropriately, consistently, and in alignment with industry standards and best practises.
