Mettler-Toledo Safeline Launches Educational Web site

TAMPA, Fla. — Mettler-Toledo Safeline has launched a new educational Web site designed to share information, solutions and ideas about detecting physical contaminants in products spanning a number of industries.

The new Web site, www.contaminationdetection.com, will discuss topics and issues important to those in the food, beverage and packaging industries. The idea behind the site is to offer an educational forum in which those from all affected industries can come together to learn about solving problems and achieving solutions.

Contaminationdetection.com will feature news stories of interest to manufacturers and retailers relating to product contamination including recalls, as well as information on governmental regulations. The site will include stories on the company’s training programs, expert Q&A postings with key company leaders, case studies and testimonials, and stories on Safeline’s educational and training sessions. The site also will showcase how-to articles and inspection tips across the various industries. Visitors will also be able to post comments and exchange ideas.

The online news and educational portal is viewed as an integral part of relaying Safeline’s critical message of food and product safety, company leaders said.

“This educational Web site is the first of its kind to offer straight advice without pushing products or the company,” said Oscar Jeter of Mettler-Toledo Safeline.  “It’s a completely innovative and neutral site.”
 
A semimonthly e-newsletter is part of the company’s latest educational initiative and will be mailed to subscribers. Content will include highlights from the daily Web site.
