Devonvale Bakery Chooses VARICON-D Metal Detection System

Devonvale Bakery of Honiton, Devon produces hand-made individual cake portions for sale in convenience stores and other retail outlets all over England. Consumer protection and quality control are cen-tral to the company’s success. The cake slices contain numerous ingredients including sugar, fruits, chocolate and caramel; all of which may be a source of metal contamination. S+S through their English subsidiary S+S Inspection Ltd, supplied Devonvale Bakery with a VARICON-D, in-line metal detection system in July 2003.
