The food and drink sector uses ionising radiation for a range of critical applications, ensuring product safety, quality, and regulatory compliance. Foreign body x-ray inspection equipment is widely used to detect contaminants such as metal, glass, and bone in packaged food and beverages. X-ray and gamma irradiation play a role in sterilisation and shelf-life extension, reducing microbial contamination without compromising food quality. The industry also relies on density gauging techniques, such as fill height measurement, to ensure consistent product packaging and reduce waste. At Supanova, we provide expert Radiation Protection Adviser (RPA) services tailored to the food and drink sector. We support businesses in radiation safety management, regulatory compliance, and training, ensuring the safe and effective use of ionising radiation technologies in food production and quality control.
