Food Inspection Services

The nondestructive inspection of food products uses real time x-ray systems to detect foreign objects within packaged food products.  If foreign objects are detected, X-R-I Testing’s X-Ray Rental and Inspection Service may be the ideal way to reclaim a major portion of contaminated food lots.  Our IntraSpec x-ray inspection systems can be used for inspection of your product, either at your plant or our facility.
