Adopting effective methods to detect and prevent foreign contaminants from entering the food supply chain is crucial for the food processing industry. Metal contaminants, such as broken machinery parts or small, and other foreign objects pose a significant risk to consumer health and can damage brand’s reputation. To mitigate these risks, food processors rely on advanced technologies like metal detection and X-ray inspection systems. Outlined below are the differences between metal-detectable and X-ray methods, highlighting their unique capabilities and applications in ensuring food safety.

Metal Detectable:

Metal detection systems are common throughout the industry, providing a reliable means of identifying and removing metallic contaminants from food products. These systems use electromagnetic fields to detect the presence of ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless-steel metals. Smaller objects that are unavoidable around the production area s

In the food industry, safety is paramount, and hand protection is no exception. Cut-resistant gloves are a critical component in ensuring worker safety. But with so many ratings and standards out there, it can become confusing to navigate and understand them all. In this blog post, we aim to simplify and explain the different cut ratings and standards, both old and new, that dictate the level of protection offered by cut-resistant gloves.

Understanding Cut Ratings and Standards

Before diving into specifics, it's essential to understand what cut ratings are and why they matter. In simple terms, cut ratings indicate the level of cut resistance offered by a glove. Higher cut ratings mean that the gloves offer better protection against cuts. These ratings are standardized by various bodies, each with different testing methods and rating systems.

1. EN388 (European Standard)

The EN388 standard is a popular and widely
