Foreign bodies are the biggest single source of customer complaints for many food
manufacturers, retailers and enforcement authorities. Foreign bodies are any
undesirable solid objects in food and range from items entirely unconnected with the
food such as glass or metal fragments to those related to the food such as bones or
fruit stalks. Detecting foreign bodies in food discusses ways of preventing and
managing incidents involving foreign bodies and reviews the range of current methods
available for the detection and control of foreign bodies, together with a number of
new and developing technologies.

Part 1 addresses management issues, with chapters on identifying potential sources
of foreign bodies, good manufacturing practice (GMP), the role of the hazard
analysis and critical control point (HACCP) system and how best to manage incidents
involving foreign bodies. The book also includes a chapter on the laboratory
identification of foreign bodies.

Part 2 examines methods for the detection and removal of foreign bodies. There are
chapters on existing methods, including metal detection, magnets, optical sorting,
X-ray systems and physical separation methods. Other chapters consider research on
potential new technologies, including surface penetrating radar, microwave
reflectance, nuclear magnetic resonance, electrical impedance and ultrasound.

Detecting foreign bodies in food will be a standard reference for all those
concerned with ensuring the safety of food.
