X-ray System Validation

Independent X-ray inspection system validation for Utah food manufacturers, with metal detection testing using certified test samples, traceable documentation, and a comprehensive report.

Most food manufacturers rely on X-ray inspection to find metal, often in packaging or products where a metal detector struggles, like foil packs and metallized film. That only counts if you can show it reliably finds the contaminants your food safety plan names, in your products. We validate your system and document it so it holds up in an audit.

What's included

• Metal detectability testing using certified ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel test samples
• Testing in your products and packaging, where detection is hardest
• Reject system checks to confirm contaminated product is removed from the line
• Traceable documentation of every test sample and result
• A comprehensive validation report for each system

Need to validate detection of other contaminants, like glass, stone, or bone? We'll source the certified test standards your program or customer requires. Mention it when you request a quote.

When to validate

• When you introduce a new product or packaging format
• When a customer or certification body requires it
