Effective rejection systems for non-conforming products is also essential for food manufacturers to comply with industry regulations such as the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), the British Retail Consortium (BRC), Food Safety System Certification 22000 (FSSC 22000), the Chinese Food Safety Law and International Featured Standard for Food (IFS).
As this white paper illustrates, selecting the right reject system is crucial to maximise product safety and compliance. A large number of different types of reject devices and systems exist. Selecting the correct one for a specific application is vital to ensure the contaminated product is removed, to avoid damaging the product (as in some cases it may be possible to rework the whole or part of the product), reduce wastage of good product and minimise any negative impact on production downtime, for example broken packaging.
