In this presentation, FlexXray experts Kurt Westmoreland (Chief Commercial Officer) and Kye Luker (Chief Product Officer) break down the issue of foreign material contamination and how it affects food producers. With 73% of manufacturers experiencing FMC incidents quarterly, the conversation explores where these contaminants come from—raw materials, processing, and manufacturing—and the costly consequences, including (though not limited to) destroyed product, inventory issues, and damage to retailer relationships.
Kurt and Kye also discuss various inspection technologies beyond metal detectors and X-rays, the pros and cons of reinspecting product internally, and when outsourcing to third-party inspection is the more effective solution. They share key insights on best practices and provide an evaluation checklist for when to consider third-party inspection services.
The session concludes with a Q&A addressing industry-specific concerns from producers. Don’t miss out on expert strategies for tackling FMC and improving your food safety measures.
