Detectables
Detectables is an abbreviation for "detectable products" in the food industry. These products are designed to be easily identified by metal detectors or X-ray scanners during the production process. This is an important aspect of food safety as it helps to identify and remove foreign objects from the final product, protecting consumers from potential hazards.
What does "Detectables" mean?
Detectable products come in various forms and materials, including tools, pens, bandages, and other items used in food production environments. These products often contain metal or metal particles that can be detected by the detection systems.
The use of detectable products helps to prevent contamination of food by foreign objects that might accidentally enter the production line. Implementing such products is a best practice in the food industry and is supported by various quality and safety standards, such as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points).
