Stricter Export Rules for Infant Formula? Turkey’s New Regulation Raises the Bar – X-ray Inspection Becomes Key to Compliance

[July 2025 – News]
 

Recently, the Turkish Food Safety Authority issued a revised national standard for infant formula and follow-up formula, tightening requirements on ingredients, labeling, impurity control, and final product inspection. These new standards directly affect all manufacturers exporting infant food to Turkey.

Among the changes, foreign body detection has become a critical compliance point, especially since infant formula allows zero tolerance for contaminants such as metal, glass, or plastic fragments.

Traditional Metal Detectors Can’t Meet the New Requirements

The new regulations demand not only precise metal detection but also the ability to identify non-metallic foreign bodies such as glass, bones, rubber, and hard plastics. This creates challenges for traditional metal detectors—and positions X-ray inspection as the more effective solution.
