In high-risk environments like meat and poultry facilities, tools that identify and reduce risks for both the product and the process are pivotal in the effort to provide safe, high quality finished products. X-ray inspection, a longtime and common method for detecting contaminants, is increasingly used as a quality control tool for risk mitigation.
“Best practices for quality control are not just in place for product attributes like taste and consistency. Those attributes are still a priority, but today’s quality programs are designed to help processors run their operations in a safer, more efficient way, something that advanced inspection systems can help accomplish,” says Steve Dowd, Regional Sales Manager for Eagle Product Inspection.
