Foreign body contamination in food products is a major area of concern for food processors/manufacturers.  Examples of foreign body inclusions are fragments of metal, bone and glass as well as plastics and rubbers, which find their way into the food production chain from products/equipment/machinery used as part of the processing line.  Should such foreign bodies pass through into the consumer chain, then there is significant risk to consumer health as well as huge financial and reputational implications to the manufacturers.  Such incidents are reported in systems such as FSA (Food Standards Agency) report and RASFF (Rapid Alert System for Food ...
