Importance of Metal Detectable Gear for Food Safety

Contamination continues to be one of leading threats to food safety in the processing industry. Among the most common forms of food contamination is equipment or protective gear becoming dislodged into the food product. If these occurrences go undetected, companies run a major risk of distributing hazardous product putting their consumers health and safety at risk. Metal detectable gear provides an added measure of safety against contamination hazards in hygienic areas. These specialized products contain non-toxic metal detectable additives that can be identified by standard metal detection equipment. They are typically available in bright colors (often blue) for added safety, providing easy visual detection should the product or pieces become dislodged.
