The Principles of Due Diligence For Quality Control and Legal Defense

This white paper explains the concept and principles of due diligence. It firstly identifies its importance in terms of providing a basis for a legal defence against potential litigation arising from complaints about contamination found in food products. It then goes on to detail the thought processes behind making the right selection of a product quality inspection system to meet these needs.

The white paper can be used as a checklist to evaluate the various metal detectors and x-ray inspection systems on the market. If a quality inspection system under consideration does not include some or all of the features identified, then it is likely to indicate a weakness in its ability to support a full due diligence defense.
