X-Ray Inspection Services & Technology for the Food Industry
Contaminated (or Suspect) Products?
OnGuard Product Inspection Inc. provides x-ray
inspection service to help food processors following an
incident of contamination by foreign materials.
Inspection by sensitive, automatic x-ray systems enables
the producer to recover good product while protecting
the brand reputation, avoiding risk to consumers and
saving money.

Even in the best-run food processing operations, things
go wrong. Equipment breaks, operators screw up or the
unforeseen occurs, and at the end of the day a whole
day’s production may be contaminated by foreign
material. Not all of it, but how can the producer know if
it is safe to market? The safest choice is often to scrap
the whole batch, which wastes money, materials and
production time. The need to re-make the product also
creates havoc with production and delivery schedules.

Metal contamination may occur in products that cannot
be inspected by metal detector when foil wrapped.
Other times a metal detector lacks the sensitivity to find
Stainless Steel particles as small as a millimetre or less.
Here, x-ray is often used to locate the metal
contaminant and clear the good product for release.
Of course, non-metallic materials such as bone, stone or
glass are not detectable by any other means, but x-ray
inspection can often eliminate these potentially harmful
contaminants.  
Product evaluation reports, to determine the feasibility
of x-ray inspection are free of charge.

OnGuard provides more than just equipment rental, but
a full turnkey service from initial evaluation to
supervision of the inspection process. Two recent
enhancements increase responsiveness to almost
‘instant’:
OnGuard’s radiation safety measures have been pre-
approved by the Ontario Ministry of Labour’s Radiation
Protection Service, which allows OnGuard to deploy the
service immediately without the usual requirement for
registration and approval of the installation.
A dedicated truck, equipped with spare parts and
accessories now delivers the x-ray system to the client’s
premises where and when required. This avoids the
delays and unreliability of freight services.

We realize that a Production Manager facing a
warehouse full of potentially worthless product is already
under stress, so OnGuard’s service is flexible and
responsive to the client’s needs.
