Why CT Matters in Food Safety
Traditional X-ray inspection is powerful, but some contaminants and subtle product inconsistencies can still slip through. CT scanning gives you a 3D view inside your product, revealing foreign material and defects in ways standard X-ray cannot.
- Detect small or complex contaminants: wires, glass, stones, dense plastics, bone fragments
- Preserve product quality while protecting your brand
- Gain data-driven insights for FSQA and operational improvements
