Spoon for foodstuffs SteriPlast®, PS, blue

The SteriPlast^® spoon for foodstuffs, made of polystyrene, is produced in a class 7 clean room (10,000), individually packaged for disposable use and then sterilised by gamma rays. The spoon for foodstuffs is available in two sizes, 2.5 ml (similar to a teaspoon) and 10 ml (similar to a tablespoon), and is ideal for sampling powders, granulates, pastes and fluids.

The shade of blue that is used does not occur in a natural form in foodstuffs. Because of this, the spoons or parts of them can be quickly found and easily identified in a visual check if they are ever mixed into production.
The detectable spoons have a special additive in the material that makes them visible to metal detectors or X rays. They can therefore be rejected with standard systems for checking for foreign objects, even though they are made of plastic.
