Guides/Metal detection in seafood HACCP
Metal detection in seafood HACCP
Cutting, grinding, and packaging equipment can introduce metal fragments. When metal detection is a CCP, challenge the detector and document rejects.
When metal is a significant hazard
If upstream steps can introduce metal and no later step removes it, detection before pack-off is often justified.
Challenge tests and sensitivity
Test ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless standards at defined intervals. Record failures and product holds.
Corrective actions
Segregate suspect product, fix the cause, recheck the detector, and disposition product before release.
