White Paper Shatters Misconceptions About X-ray Food Inspection

Mettler Toledo tackles some of the most common misconceptions about x-ray inspection of food in a new white paper titled, “How Safe is X-ray Inspection of Food.”

Mettler Toledo tackles some of the most common misconceptions about x-ray inspection of food in a new white paper titled, “How Safe is X-ray Inspection of Food.”

The paper answers important questions for food manufacturers, including why use x-ray inspection, what are the effects of x-rays to flavors, textures and nutritional value of food, what is the difference between x-ray inspection and food irradiation, what is the difference between x-ray radiation and radioactivity and how safe are x-ray systems used in the food industry?

With production lines getting faster and consumer expectations rising, the eight-page paper explains that manufacturers are under pressure to adopt high-speed and reliable methods of food inspection to ensure their products are safe. X-ray systems do just that.

The paper uses layman's terms to explain the principles behind x-ray inspection and how it can help food manufacturers comply with national and international regulations. Yes, people are right to be wary of radiation, but this white paper dispels a few myths and delivers some surprising facts.

The paper is available to download free at www.mt.com/xray-safety.
