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 pens, 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.

🌍 World Food Day: Safe food is for everyone 🍎

Every day, people all around the world rely on the food industry to provide products that are safe, trusted, and made with care. Food safety is more than just meeting standards and passing audits. It’s protecting people, supporting communities, and ensuring confidence in the food we share.

From farm to factory to fork, every step of the food journey matters. That’s why food manufacturers continue to invest in processes, technologies, and tools that help maintain the highest levels of safety and quality.

Detectable products are one small but important part of this bigger picture. By helping manufacturers identify and manage potential foreign material risks, they support robust food safety systems and contribute to safer production environments.

This World Food Day, we recognise everyone working behind the scenes to help make safe food available for all. 🌱

🖊️ A pen you don’t have to think twice about 🖊️

It’s one of those small things… until it isn’t.

Pens go everywhere in a production environment, which is why having one that’s built to last (and built with safety in mind) makes all the difference.

At BST, we’ve got you covered, even if a plastic pen isn’t for you. Our metal twist pens are strong, reliable, and designed to minimise the risk of parts coming loose. The stainless-steel body keeps things sturdy, while the twist action retractable nib means no lost lids floating around.

If you’re still using standard pens in your process… it might be time to upgrade. 👀

You wouldn't expect to see a plant growing out of your electrics.

You wouldn't expect your lipstick to be pasta.

And you certainly wouldn't expect to find plastic in your food.

Consumers rightly expect the products they buy to be safe. Behind every meal is a chain of decisions, procedures, and preventative measures working together to help make that expectation a reality.

That's why the tools used throughout food production matter.

Detectable products are designed to support contamination prevention, strengthen due diligence, and give manufacturers the best possible chance of identifying foreign bodies before products reach the consumer.

Raise your expectations. Choose products designed with food safety in mind. When it comes to protecting consumer safety, "good enough" shouldn't be the standard.

Every company has a story.

Ours started back in 1985 with a simple idea, a lot of determination, and a commitment to doing things the right way.

In this video, BST CEO John looks back at where it all began, reflecting on the early days of the business, the lessons passed down from his father, Brian, the products that started it all, and the values that continue to shape BST today.

It's a conversation about more than business. It's about family, innovation, resilience, and the passion that's driven us for the last 40 years.

Whether you've been with us since the beginning or have only recently discovered BST, we hope you enjoy this look back at the journey that made us who we are.
