X-ray Reclaim owns about $3-million worth of inspection systems, including 10 third-generation Xray machines, 5 first-generation machines and 11 metal detectors. In a refrigerated warehouse in Bolton, Ont., X-ray Reclaim is Xraying millions of kilograms of food annually from producers who suspect shards of inedible materials have accidentally made their way into their products.
In 2021, the 15-year-old company launched a service to Xray processed food and weed out products contaminated with pieces of glass, metal or rubber, said vice- president Mat Bédard, one of the firm’s two co-owners. That branch, X-ray Reclaim, has seen its revenue and sales double every year since, and is the only one in North America to offer emergency Xray services to isolate contaminated products and keep companies from having to throw out perfectly safe, good food, Mr. Bedard said.
“We did $80-million of product last year — $80-million of product that, if we didn’t exist, went straight to the landfill,” he said.
