Solving Foreign Material Contamination—How External X-Ray Inspection Saves More Product and Reduces Rework

5/30/24 2:00 pm to 5/30/25 EDT

Foreign material contamination incidents can have a massive impact on revenue and your consumer brand, but many producers lack the resources to do more than flag an issue in-house. External foreign material inspection can unlock the capacity needed to re-inspect and remediate on-hold product quickly and cost-effectively—while also ensuring that you have the right information to make an informed decision on what to do with product.

From this webinar, attendees will learn:

The most common sources of foreign material contamination
How to respond when an incident occurs
How external X-ray inspection technology differs from an in-line setup
The benefits of managing externally vs. in-houses
