Why attend:
Eliminating foreign body contamination of foods starts by implementing a programme of control and prevention based around the principles of HACCP and GMP. However, even the best-managed preventative systems can fail, so technologies that reliably and rapidly detect unwanted foreign bodies are needed. This course will provide an important update for food producers, distributors and retailers on the range of foreign body detection systems currently available to help deliver a safe product to the consumer.

Course content:

  • The current state-of-the-art in the detection of the most common foreign bodies in foods (e.g. plastic, stones, wood, glass, metal, bone)
  • Practical limitations for foreign body detection systems
  • Future possibilities in foreign body detection for the food industry
  • Gaps in current capabilities for ‘difficult to detect‘ materials

The course will update industry on the techniques available to minimise, control and detect foreign bodies in foods, before they present a risk to the consumer.

"Foreign bodies are the most common cause of complaint and prosecution for food producers. The accidental inclusion of unwanted pieces of equipment, packaging or other materials can result in all sorts of problems, e.g. breakdown of supply chain partnerships, claims for financial compensation and loss of consumer confidence. Food producers need to be aware of the current state-of-the-art in this area and demonstrate that they are complying with the best available practice."
