Snack and Relax: We have got you covered! Maintaining a high standard of quality and compliance is an essential part of building a successful snack food brand. The current snack market is growing at a fast rate but snack food production comes with a number of challenges: preventing physical contamination, handling fragile products such as chips and bars, and keeping a clean production environment in order to prevent the accumulation of hazards like sugar or flour dust.
The use of advanced product inspection technologies helps overcome these challenges with:
• High-speed handling and inspection of fragile snacks
• Effective contamination detection for better product safety
• Reduced product waste with in-line weight verification
• Verification of label contents, including critical information such as allergen warnings
The result: satisfied customers, compliance with government regulations, and a more efficient production process. In this Snacks Newsletter we cover the different inspection solutions that assist in automated snack production, offer a new Industry eGuide for you to learn more about the inspection of snack products, and discuss Italian snack food manufacturer Pata’s over 20 year long relationship with Product Inspection.
