Maintaining top levels of food safety is a critical challenge — one that Pete Poteres, President of ETHOS QA Consulting, has been leading the charge on for 45 years.
Understanding that many of the in-line metal detectors and X-ray machines available to producers today aren’t equipped to handle production line speeds, Pete turned to FlexXray frequently for an efficient and accurate inspection service. He knew we could inspect product for physical contaminants, confirm it was safe for market and provide data for decision-making at plant level, ensuring sales weren’t interrupted.
Pete found the inspection process with FlexXray to be thorough and carefully managed from front to back every single time.
“I hold a high opinion of FlexXray. They’re in my ‘bag of tricks,’ so to speak, on how to ensure quality and food safety for our customers. We have equipment in-line; we have metal detectors, we have X-rays. But, they’re not to the substantial abilities of the FlexXray machines. This is why, to be on the safe side, we send product to FlexXray.”
The level of expertise and specialized training that FlexXray team members have makes all the difference when deciding whether to rework a product internally or send it to an external inspection partner.
“The equipment that FlexXray uses is just amazing. The sense of urgency and the ability to move so much product through their lines is very impressive. Everybody knows what their role and job is to get the product done in a very quick but precise manner.”
Pete has relied on FlexXray to perform many rework projects. In the last 20 years, he has witnessed our operation in person, interacted with our team and watched our equipment perform up close. Our range of flexible services are just another tool that Pete has utilized during his 45+ year career in food safety.
“It’s an outstanding program, one that I recommend through my consulting company to a lot of companies that don’t know about FlexXray, and I’ll continue to do that in the future. It’s a great service they provide the food and beverage industry.”
