Metal‑detectable products help prevent foreign‑body contamination in food production by ensuring broken or lost tools can be identified by metal detection systems before they reach the final product. They support HACCP and BRCGS compliance, reduce the risk of costly recalls, and strengthen site hygiene by using durable, easy‑clean, colour‑coded materials designed for high‑risk environments. Using detectable tools improves safety, audit readiness, and overall product integrity across the food and beverage industry.

As part of Vikan’s colour‑coded, hygienic design range, this shovel helps sites maintain HACCP and BRCGS compliance, reduce contamination risks, and streamline cleaning processes across food and beverage production areas.
