The types and sources of
foreign bodies
vary widely.
For example, screws, nuts or valve parts can get into the
product
through production machines
.
Through the packaging material, it is possible that parts such as wood, plastic or metal get into the product.
Recall of gingerbread: there are preventive measures to prevent contamination
The
human
factor also
plays a role: it can, for example, get
hair
or plasters into the food.
There are many other ways and possibilities of contamination, which is why manufacturers must also have a good
hygiene concept in
order to reduce the likelihood of contamination to a minimum.
Whether companies are also complying with all regulations is
regularly checked by the authorities
in both
product
and operational controls.
