Any contaminant embedded in a food product gets in the way of quality and safety and causes headaches for manufacturers. In the poultry industry, minute bone fragments pose constant challenges and risks for recalls and even consumer injuries.
Such tiny pieces of calcified bone can be easily overlooked in chicken products bound for human consumption. Eagle Product Inspection’s Performance X-ray Technology (PXT™) can identify bone fragments down to 1 mm in size in fresh, frozen and refrigerated poultry products as well as in bulk flow and retail poultry portions. When paired with the RMI 400 x-ray machine, the technology has been shown to detect bones as small as 0.6 mm.
