Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection

A product recall due to poor product quality can have a large impact on food manufacturers, hitting profits and damaging brand reputation. A growing number of food safety standards worldwide demand manufacturers put in place stringent controls to prevent foreign body contamination for consumer wellbeing. In addition, elimination of product underfill is a legal requirement in many countries to protect consumers’ statutory rights. These include the use of advanced product inspection systems, such as metal detectors, x-ray systems and checkweighers on production lines.

Its business units Mettler-Toledo Safeline Metal Detection and Mettler-Toledo Safeline X-ray supply advanced metal detection and x-ray inspection technology for the detection of foreign body contaminants in food.
