March 17, 2026 – METTLER TOLEDO Product Inspection Group has released a new eGuide, 5 Steps to Prevent Physical Contamination, designed to help manufacturers strengthen food safety programs that protect their customers, consumers and brand reputation. The guide outlines practical ways to identify risks, select the right inspection technologies and build a proactive contamination prevention strategy.
“Foreign material contamination remains one of the leading causes of product recalls globally, and even small incidents can have serious consequences, especially in the age of social media,” said Tom Koshy, National Sales Director at METTLER TOLEDO Product Inspection. “Drawing on our decades of experience, we’ve distilled what works into a concise roadmap to help processors and packers translate compliance goals into real-world, actionable steps.”
The eGuide explores five key areas of food safety management: assessing risks, detecting weak points in production, choosing appropriate metal detection or x-ray technology, future-proofing inspection capabilities and leveraging digital data management to enhance compliance. It highlights how METTLER TOLEDO’s inspection systems, combined with tools like ProdX™ software, can help manufacturers detect and remove contaminants while improving operational efficiencies and meeting evolving regulatory requirements.
The “5 Steps to Prevent Physical Contamination” eGuide is available now as a free download here.
