Physical contaminants are unwanted objects in food, such as metal, glass, plastic, wood, stones, or bone fragments. This foreign materials exclusion training covers identification, sources, and control strategies. See also Food Safety Fundamentals for overall food safety concepts.
Common sources include raw materials, equipment wear (metal shavings), maintenance activities, packaging materials, employee jewelry or personal items, and facility infrastructure. Module 3 covers routes and sources. For related contamination topics, see Contamination, Adulteration and Tampering for Professionals.
Proactive controls include supplier approval programs, sanitary design of equipment and facilities, preventive maintenance, metal detectors, magnets, X-ray machines, and employee training. Module 4 covers proactive controls. For quality fundamentals, see Quality 101 – For Professionals.
GFSI schemes require documented foreign material control programs including risk assessment, control measures (metal detection, sieves, magnets), and corrective actions. Module 5 covers developing an effective foreign material control program. For external reference, visit the SQFI website and FDA's guidance on physical hazards.
