HACCP is a way of managing food safety hazards. Food safety management procedures should be based on HACCP principles … what could go wrong and what risks there are to food safety” Food Standards Agency

HACCP is a food safety management system designed to prevent contamination during food production processes, rather than a finished product inspection procedure.

AIS can help you achieve HACCP and the governmental and retailer requirements of contamination and recall incidents. We can also provide quality and safety assurance when a Critical Control Point (CCP) has failed.

Threat Assessment and Critical Control Point (TACCP) helps food producers identify weak points in their supply chain and processing activities that may be vulnerable to fraud. It then helps the business minimise the chances of such an attack.” Campden BRI

If your business is the unfortunate victim of a threat or attack, AIS is equipped to assist you with product recovery and safety testing. In the event of an incident (subject to it being a foreign body we can detect) we will be able to quickly and confidentially confirm whether your product is safe to go back into the distribution chain.

AIS has many years’ of experience in providing specialist x-ray inspection services. We are ISO accredited to help you achieve compliance for potential recall incidents, HACCP and TACCP.

Over 95% of our business is repeat business from long term clients, mainly within the food and pharmaceutical sectors.

Reliability can differ due to many factors. We will always give a clear and honest appraisal of what is achievable and be prepared to demonstrate that to you at any time.

Our x-ray inspection service is generally quoted at a simple per-item fee.

The pricing structure is based on the product inspection time plus any additional services such as shrink wrapping or relabelling. The cost is then converted into a ‘per-item’ (unit or case) price so you know exactly how much the inspection service will be.

The fee per item will be dependent on several factors including:

• The fault or contaminant to be detected (eg. level of difficulty and time required)
• The product size, quantity and value
• Special requirements, urgency or expiry date(s) if applicable

We are confident that you will find our service fast, efficient and cost effective – even for relatively low value products.

We aim to be a sustainable business and protect the environment where possible:

• Our service can help manufacturers to avoid waste by destroying only contaminated or faulty goods while safe products are released back into distribution
• All packaging material removed during the inspection process is sent to be recycled including shrink wrap, cartons, glass packaging and cans
• We try to source sustainable suppliers including a predominantly biomass-fuelled electricity supplier
