White Paper helps dairy processors ensure food safety

Ishida Europe (UK) has produced a White Paper to help dairy processors safeguard their brand integrity by meeting the highest food safety and quality standards.

With both legislative requirements and retailer standards becoming ever more stringent and consumers less tolerant of product quality issues, it is vital for producers to be able to demonstrate that they have taken appropriate food safety precautions. This is especially true for foreign body contamination which can occur at various points during the production and packing process, including from the supply chain, in process machinery, through personnel, or via the addition of non-dairy ingredients.

Entitled Dairy Production: Eliminating Foreign Body Contamination and Ensuring Brand Integrity, the White Paper explains the importance of inline protection as part of an effective Food Safety Management System based on HACCP principles.

The White Paper, which can be downloaded from the Ishida website, looks at the comparative benefits of the two main inspection and detection technologies - metal detection and X-ray inspection - and considers their application in two major dairy processing sectors, cheese and yoghurt. It provides a clear overview of the issues, examines the options available and outlines the steps dairy processors should take in order to make the right decisions to meet their specific needs. In addition to the White Paper, Ishida Europe has produced a series of informative videos.

Ishida Europe also offers comprehensive demonstration facilities at its offices throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa, where customers can view the company’s ranges of quality control equipment and carry out specific tests to identify the most appropriate solution for their application.
