How Safe is X-ray Inspection of Food?

Food consumers sometimes express concerns about possible harmful effects of X-rays on food safety and quality; at the same time, food producers can express similar worries that X-ray inspection might damage food on their production line – and even harm operators working close to X-rays.

This webinar demonstrates that X-rayed food is safe and healthy, and that no-one eating such food or working on X-ray-inclusive production lines can be negatively affected.

The webinar covers topics such as:

• X-ray inspection radiation levels are so low that they have no negative effects on food, on consumers or on factory operatives
• The effectiveness of X-raying food to detect and eliminate contaminants – helping manufacturers maintain proper safety procedures and obey regulations
• The usefulness of X-rays in carrying out a whole range of quality checks
• An explanation of what X-rays are and how X-ray inspection food  does not involve use of radioactive materials
