Know what to expect in meat products
Italian meat producers, Faccia Fratelli explain how new labelling options have made it possible to provide customers with accurate nutritional profile data.
FoodScan 2 is the gold standard for fast, accurate and easy analysis of meat and processed meat products. It can be used in all stages of meat production – from checking incoming raw material to final product control.
With the FoodScan™ 2 meat analyser you can get all the information you need for your product labels as well as measuring the colour of your meat product. Additionally, the batch standardisation functionality makes is easy for you to use the FoodScan™ 2 for process control.
Any type of ground or homogenised meat samples, plant-based meat alternatives and fish.
Fat, moisture, protein, collagen, saturated fat, carbohydrates, energy, salt, sodium, water activity and ash, plus colour measurement and batch standardisation functionality.
With FoodScan™ 2 you get the information you need for labels on consumer packs.This gives you the possibility to reduce your costs for use of external labs and enables the QC lab to do more with the same resources.Besides fat, moisture, protein, collagen and salt (Cl-based) the FoodScan™ 2 delivers results about the content of energy, carbohydrates, saturated fat, sodium and ash.
Reduce calibration maintenance and development costs with one global ANN calibration that covers all types of meat and meat productIf you need to control parameters or products that are not covered by the ANN calibrations, we can support you with the tools and competences required to make customised models.
With FoodScan™ 2 you get accurate and representative results from your sample analysis, making you less dependant on the homogenisation step. FoodScan™ 2 is a major step forward in NIR transmission technology. With 3 sub-scans, an even larger share of the sample is measured. This makes you less dependent on the homogenization step.
The colour module is one of the new features available with FoodScan™ 2:• Colour is measured with the CIE L* a* b standard• The colour measurement is done at the same time as the composition parameters are measured
Ensure indisputable results with advanced digital service and support solutions. Whatever your needs, we have a SmartCare™ solution that is tailored to match the requirements of your analytical set-up. •Get total control of your FoodScan 2 units across different locations with instrument networking. Check that your analyser is performing optimally from anywhere.•Ensure FoodScan 2 uptime, verify analytical performance and document performance for audit purposes.
Foodscan™ 2 is the only near infrared (NIR) analyser that is AOAC approved for analysis of meat products. This is valuable for any laboratory and others required to use officially approved methods. FoodscanTM 2 is also approved by the Australian Quarantine and inspection Service (AQIS) and Polska Noma in Poland.
How a new take on a well-proven meat analysis solution is making a
difference to quality control testing at leading meat producers, Smithfield.

The ongoing trend towards automation in food production has became a lot
more relevant in recent months. From simple multi-parameter testing for labelling to remote control of
analysers, recent developments in analytical technology offer a timely way to take the manual work out
of meat testing.

Innovative batch standardization software makes it easy to standardize your batches.
There is no need for manual calculation, so you can avoid the risk of human errors.
1. Key in the target volume and fat% of the batch on the FoodScan 2 display
2. Add information about present volume produced
3. Based on the fat % of the sample the FoodScan 2
will inform you of the type and volume of raw material you need to add
4. Reach your batch target
The demand for greater efficiency grows as meat plants increase throughput and introduce new end-products to stay competitive and meet changing consumer preferences. This adds to the workload at the process line and in the QA laboratory.
With FoodScan 2 time to result is reduced by up to 50 %.
Faster analysis time enables faster processing of each
batch, increased production efficiency and better profit.
With analytics packages for plant-based products, producers of plant-based meat have access to the same rapid and easy to use analysis as producers of traditional meat products.
Vital data on key parameters provides actionable insights throughout the production process allowing producers to optimize product development and production processes, limit waste and reduce cost.
