The metal detector or X-ray equipment shall incorporate one of the following:
• an automatic rejection device, for continuous in-line systems, which shall either divert contaminated product out of the
product flow or to a secure unit accessible only to authorised personnel
• a belt stop system with an alarm where the product cannot be automatically rejected, e.g. for very large packs
• in-line detectors which identify the location of the contaminant shall be operated to allow effective segregation of the
affected product.
