Food x-ray, also known as food inspection x-ray, is a process used to inspect food products using x-ray technology. This technology allows for the detection of foreign objects, such as metal, glass, or plastic, that may be present in food products.
The process works by passing the food product through an x-ray machine, which generates images of the product's interior. These images are analyzed by trained operators or computer algorithms to identify any foreign objects that may be present.
Food x-ray inspection is used in a variety of food production and processing industries, including meat and poultry, baked goods, snack foods, and packaged goods. It can help manufacturers ensure the safety and quality of their products by detecting and removing any foreign objects that may have accidentally entered the product during production or packaging.
In addition to foreign object detection, food x-ray can also be used to inspect for other quality control issues, such as missing or misshapen products, and to ensure that products meet specific weight and size requirements.
