BST Detectable Products

BST Detectable Products The original developers and manufacturers of metal and x-ray detectable products. What does this mean in plain English?

Helping reduce the risk of foreign body contamination within the food processing industry since 1985. ‘Detectable products’ is the name given to our range of plastic & metal products that are predominantly used within food & pharmaceutical manufacturing/processing but also relevant for use in any environment requiring due diligence in the prevention of foreign body contamination. Items such as pen

s, scoops, stirrers, clips, scrapers, knives, PPE etc. are all at risk of accidentally being dropped or otherwise introduced to the product being processed – contaminating the product. The solution to this problem is to use our high quality ‘Detectable Products’ which are made from metal, or, our own plastic & rubber XDETECT compounds that are magnetically detectable, x-ray visible, and antibacterial. This ensures that even a small fragment of the product is identified by conventional detection systems and, with the antibacterial properties, is continually contributing to ‘Infection Control’. BST are the original & best supplier of these pioneering products, known globally for their finest quality.

🍬🍫 June is National Confectionery Month 🍫🍬

So we’re taking a closer look at the unique food safety challenges hiding inside your favourite sweet treats.

Confectionery production isn’t straightforward. With huge variations in density and added bits like soft jellies, crunchy nuts, and layered nougat, detecting something that shouldn’t be there isn’t always simple. When products already contain mixed textures and inclusions, identifying a foreign fragment can become far more complex than you might think.

In our latest News Centre article, we break down the specific challenges faced by the confectionery industry and explore practical measures that can help reduce contamination risk and strengthen quality control.

Since it’s international biscuit day, we thought we’d ask the BST team about their favourite biscuits!

The answers were surprisingly passionate and revealed what appears to be a strong M&S influence amongst certain members of management…

Of course, all biscuits are great in their own way, but we still want to know, what’s your favourite biscuit?

International Biscuit Day?
Don’t mind if we do. 🍪

Whether you’re team chocolate digestive, custard cream, or the dangerously addictive “just one more” cookie, biscuits are serious business in the UK and even more serious business on a production line.

Before you get your perfectly baked, beautifully packed biscuit, there is a process that has to run smoothly, consistently, and safely.

That’s where we come in.

From detectable pens and PPE to metal detectable and x-ray visible components used throughout food production environments, our products are designed to reduce foreign body risk and support quality control at every stage of manufacturing.

Because the only crunch anyone wants in their biscuit… is the biscuit.

So today, while you’re enjoying yours with a brew, spare a thought for the engineering, safety measures, and preventative controls that keep production lines running and consumers protected.

And if you’re in biscuit manufacturing and reviewing your contamination control measures, we should talk.

Big news… in smaller boxes 👀

We’ve made our detectable pens more accessible than ever:

• J800s now available in boxes of 10 (as well as 25)
• Trace-Its now in boxes of 10 (as well as 50)
