Who Needs Detectamet Detectable Products?
Within many industries today there is an ever-present risk of product contamination from foreign objects. If these remain undetected, they can result in damage to equipment, costs incurred through product recalls, harm to the company’s reputation and, in the worst case, serious injury to somebody inadvertently coming into contact with the contaminant. These industries include the food industry (human and animal), beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, textiles and many others.

Are You Protecting Your Customers?
Statistics show that the Food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries are most at risk from foreign body contamination issues - due to consumers who may inadvertently ingest foreign matter within a finished product. Consumer complaints are a constant problem for most food companies and so prevention and control should be high on the list of priorities for quality and technical managers with support from product development, purchasing, distribution etc.

The law states that “Food fails to comply with food safety requirements if it is unsafe for human consumption or it is so contaminated (whether by extraneous or otherwise) that is would not be reasonable to expect it to be used for human consumption in that state” Section 8 (2) (B & C) of the Food Safety Act 1990.

It is intended that the more risk-based and flexible procedures will better match the needs of individual businesses and enforcement agencies. This is facilitated by the introduction of food safety management procedures based on the application of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) principles. HACCP-based principles are widely regarded throughout the EU and in most developed countries as crucial to the management of food safety and, in turn, consumer protection. On 1 January 2006 it became a legal requirement for all food businesses (except primary producers) to put in place, implement and maintain a permanent procedure or procedures based on HACCP principles.

The law allows defences for all reasonable precautions and all due diligence when a company may be faced with a prosecution for a foreign body complaint.
