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.

With a role that brings so much variety, it’s important to remember the fundamentals.

For Carol, the day-to-day is all about our people, supporting, organising, and looking after our work family.

🍓 Fruits & Veggies Month 🥕

When people think about fruit and veg, they picture farms, freshness, and simplicity.

What they don’t see is everything that happens after; Washing, cutting, sorting, packing… and all the people, tools, and processes involved along the way.

That’s where things can get complicated.

In busy production environments, it’s not always the produce that creates risk, it’s everything around it. Utensils, PPE, tools, all the small things that are easy to overlook.

That’s why detectable products play such an important role. They’re not there to get in the way, just to reduce risk and support the process.

Even the simplest products still rely on well-controlled systems behind the scenes.

📚✏️ Back to School with BST ✏️📚

Take your seats everyone, class is officially in session 👩‍🏫

It’s National Food Safety Education Month!

Education has always been a huge part of what we do at BST. Yes, we supply detectable products, but we’ve always believed it’s just as important to help people understand why they matter, how they work, and the role they play in supporting food safety.

The truth is, detectable products are still a bit of a mystery to a lot of people. We regularly hear things like “I didn’t even know these existed!” which is exactly why we’re kicking off our Back to School series this September.

Over the next month, we’ll be covering all things detectable through tips, explanations, behind-the-scenes content, product spotlights, myth-busting, and answers to some of the questions we hear all the time. Think of it as Food Safety 101… just with fewer detentions.

So sharpen your pencils, pay attention, and take notes… because there will be a quiz at the end 📝

After over 40 years in business, there’s plenty to look back on.

We’re proud of the steps we’ve taken and the progress we’ve made, but the advancements in food safety is what our CEO, John, likes to shout about, and rightly so.

National Burger Day? England, you’ve done it again! 🍔

Burgers come in all shapes and sizes. Single patty, triple stacked, brioche bun or sesame seeded, plain and simple or piled high with toppings. Pickles, ketchup, burger sauce, salad, the possibilities are endless.

But one thing all burgers have in common? The food safety measures working behind the scenes to ensure every bite is as safe as it is mouthwatering.

From ingredient preparation and processing through to packaging and distribution, food manufacturers rely on robust procedures, quality checks, and detectable products to help prevent contamination and protect consumers. It's not the most exciting part of a burger, but it's certainly one of the most important.

So whether you're getting stuck in with a classic cheeseburger or something a little more adventurous, here's to the teams working behind the scenes to keep our favourite foods safe.

Now the important question... what's your go-to burger order? 👀🍔

As BST continues to evolve, the changes and additions we make across our products, services, and global reach don’t just impact the business, they impact the people within it too.

Seeing ideas turn into real improvements, and watching those changes positively affect both the team and our customers, is something that keeps us motivated to keep pushing forward.

For Katie, those benefits are visible every day, not only within her own team but across the company as a whole.

🐾 You may have noticed…

We’ve been focusing on pet food manufacturing this month, and before our pet food month comes to an end, we just wanted to say how much we enjoy working with the pet food industry.

We're proud that so many pet food manufacturers choose BST detectable products to support their food safety procedures, helping protect the products that eventually make it into wagging tails and happy purrs. 🐶😺

After all, pets deserve the same high standards of food safety as the rest of the family.

Summer brings warm weather, longer days, and busy shifts, but don’t let the sunshine distract from the essentials.

Stay hydrated. Stay focused. Stay safe.
A clear mind makes better decisions, and better decisions keep your products protected.

Work smart, enjoy the season, and keep standards high. ☀️💼

Everyone takes in information in different ways. There is no right or wrong way to learn, people simply process and retain information in different ways.

At BST, education is a huge part of what we do. We believe helping people better understand our niche industry empowers them to make informed decisions and strengthens food safety as a whole. But to create the best content, we need to understand what type of learner you are.

For the purposes of this poll, we’re focusing on four of the most widely recognised learning styles.

👀 Visual Learners: Prefer images, diagrams, charts, and seeing relationships between ideas.
🎧 Auditory Learners: Learn best through listening, discussions, and verbal explanations.
📝 Reading/Writing Learners: Prefer written information, notes, and clear text-based instructions.
🛠️ Kinaesthetic Learners: Learn by doing, hands-on experience, practice, and practical application.

Understanding how you process information can help improve retention and confidence in the subject matter. And by contributing to this poll and writing what kind of learner you are in the comments below, you’re helping us better cater our content to you.
