Mettler Toledo has announced that its new X-ray Reclaim Foreign Material Re-inspection Services facility in Dallas, Texas, USA, is scheduled to open on 5 October 2026.
The Mettler Toledo Dallas facility is strategically located to support manufacturers across Texas and the surrounding region, expanding access to rapid-response re-inspection services for food, beverage, ingredient, personal care and pet food manufacturers responding to suspected foreign material incidents.
According to the company, the Dallas facility will provide manufacturers with a dedicated location for evaluating affected products through professionally managed re-inspection, contaminant extraction, application validation and documented reporting. The expanded regional capacity gives customers greater flexibility in selecting the service approach that best fits their product, volume, timeline, facility requirements and logistical considerations.
“When foreign material concerns arise, manufacturers often face significant operational and financial pressure while determining the appropriate disposition of quarantined product,” said JP Perreault, Head of X-ray Reclaim Services at Mettler Toledo. “The Dallas facility strengthens our ability to support customers through both dedicated in-house re-inspection and mobile operations deployed directly to customer sites. These options give manufacturers greater flexibility while providing access to advanced inspection capabilities, experienced operational expertise, and responsive service when time is critical.”
In-house and mobile options
Beginning 5 October, manufacturers will be able to ship quarantined finished goods to the Dallas facility for professionally managed re-inspection and contaminant extraction services. According to the company, the in-house operation is designed to support a range of project sizes and product types while providing a dedicated environment for inspection, handling, traceability and reporting.
For urgent situations, high-volume projects or manufacturers that prefer to avoid transporting quarantined products, the X-ray Reclaim team can deploy a fully equipped mobile re-inspection operation directly to the customer’s facility. According to Mettler Toledo, mobile deployments are typically available within 48 hours following application validation and project authorisation, depending on project scope, location, equipment requirements and scheduling.
Advanced technology
X-ray Reclaim services utilise PXT photon-counting x-ray inspection technology to support the detection of challenging foreign materials, including ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless-steel contaminants, glass, stone, bone, mineralised contaminants and select low-density materials. According to the company, every project begins with application testing to establish detection thresholds based on the specific product, packaging and suspected contaminant.
The Dallas facility reflects an ongoing commitment to expanding X-ray Reclaim service capacity and improving access to re-inspection support for manufacturers across North America. According to Mettler Toledo, additional updates regarding planned enhancements to the Ontario, Canada operation are expected later this year.
Advance project inquiries for the Dallas facility are now being accepted.
