Ensure the safety and quality of prepared foods with the latest solutions for inspection and detection from Anritsu
As the prepared foods industry continues to expand – driven by marketplace demand for convenient, high quality, ready-to-eat or ready-to-cook products – manufacturers have taken on the responsibility of ensuring that foods are free from any foreign materials, such as bone, metal, stone, wire, glass, plastic or other bodies. To help manufacturers control quality and safety, Anritsu Industrial Solutions USA (us.anritsu-industry.com) offers a range of comprehensive detection and inspection systems spanning X-Ray, Metal Detection, and Checkweigher systems, along with advanced quality management and quality control software.
The needle-in-a-haystack comparison – in this case, a potential needle fragment in a piece of meat or a minute piece of wire in a potato – is apt in the prepared foods industry, as processors must detect and remove contaminants while maintaining their high volume, highly diverse lines. The cost of not removing such contaminants is high, as evidenced by news headlines about massive product recalls due to issues like glass shards in entrees or metal shards in boxes of macaroni.
