Foreign bodies in food

In food production, due to errors in manufacturing processes, contaminants or foreign bodies such as aluminum or plastic residue can occur repeatedly.

The presence of foreign bodies in food can cause many injuries and discomforts.

Depending on the size, the state and the material of the bodies ingested, injuries to the mouth and throat may appear during chewing.
