In the European food industry, compliance with strict safety standards is essential—not only for product quality, but also for market access.
Recently, a snack manufacturer in Europe faced a common challenge:
their existing inspection system could not fully meet audit requirements under BRCGS.
The customer was producing small packaged snack products with high output. During internal review, they identified several risks:
Inconsistent detection sensitivity
Lack of reliable rejection system
Limited documentation for audit verification
Concerns about compliance with HACCP requirements
With an upcoming BRC audit, the company needed a more reliable and compliant inspection solution.
After evaluating their production line, we provided a customized inspection system designed to meet European standards.
Key improvements included:
Stable and high-sensitivity metal detection
Automatic rejection system for contaminated products
Full support for HACCP critical control points
Use of materials compliant with EC 1935/2004
Complete validation and testing documentation
The system was also built in accordance with CE Marking requirements, ensuring smooth integration into the EU market.
With the new system in place, the customer was able to:
Pass their BRC audit successfully
Improve overall product safety control
Enhance traceability and internal quality management
Reduce operational risks during production
Most importantly, the company gained confidence in meeting ongoing regulatory and customer requirements.
One key factor behind this success was a simple but critical question:
“What standards does your production need to comply with?”
Understanding this early allows for the right configuration, avoiding costly adjustments later.
Whether you are preparing for a BRC audit or upgrading your food safety system, choosing the right inspection equipment is essential.
