Detectamet, the global leader for Metal Detectable and X-Ray Visible products, proudly celebrates its 22nd anniversary this month, marking more than two decades of pioneering innovation, unwavering commitment to product safety, and industry leadership.

In an industry where consumer trust is paramount, ensuring the safety and quality of food products is not just a regulatory requirement but a moral imperative. Every step, from sourcing raw materials to final packaging, is scrutinized to prevent contamination. Among the most critical safeguards in modern food processing are metal detection and X-ray inspection systems, acting as vigilant guardians against foreign body contamination. However, the effectiveness of these advanced technologies hinges on one often-overlooked, yet absolutely crucial, aspect: calibration standards.
