Challenge Foreign body contamination, particularly from soft plastics, poses a significant risk to food safety and product integrity. Detecting such materials remains challenging due to their low density and weak contrast in traditional inspection systems.
Solution This project investigates advanced sensing technologies to evaluate their effectiveness in detecting soft plastic contaminants. The study focuses on identifying methods that can reliably detect these materials within complex food matrices, enhancing contamination prevention strategies.
Impact Improved detection of soft plastics will strengthen food safety protocols, reduce product recalls, and boost consumer confidence. The findings will guide the integration of more effective sensing solutions across food manufacturing environments.
