Metal detectors have long been famous at airport security checkpoints for their ability to keep unwanted objects off planes. Now X-ray scanners at airports have brought X-ray technology to the forefront of the public’s eye for their accurate ability to identify more materials that could be concealed.

For meat and poultry processors, metal detectors and X-ray inspection systems are employed to identify foreign objects in their products in much the same way. These food-safety tools are helping meat and poultry processors reliably remove more foreign objects from their processing materials.
