Overcoming wet product effect in dairy and cheese

摘要

Wet food inspection can sometimes be an issue when looking for metal in food products. On dairy processing and packing lines, products are exposed to a variety of processes and all products, even a block of cheese compared to cheese slices, react in different ways when in a magnetic field. While stainless steel contamination in products is a rare occurrence, the metal is prevalent in industrial preparation and mixing equipment. "The use of wires and slicing equipment is widespread when slicing cheeses or puddings into smaller portions, and this means that there's a risk of tiny fragments entering the production chain," according to Phil Brown, sales director for Fortress Technology.
