The blue that means business

When it comes to food safety, visibility matters.

That’s why our BST blue isn’t just any blue; it’s been carefully developed to be brighter, bolder, and more visually detectable than the rest.

But what truly sets it apart is the time, research, and development behind it. We carefully refine the precise ratio of detectable additives to ensure maximum detectability, without ever compromising mechanical strength, durability, or performance.

Blue is widely used in food production environments for a reason. It naturally contrasts against most food products, making fragments easier to spot during visual inspections. It’s a colour rarely found in food itself, which means it stands out quickly and clearly, an essential factor in effective foreign body control.

Every formulation undergoes extensive testing, including migration testing and full compliance checks to meet FDA and EU requirements. The result is a compound that performs as well as it detects: robust, reliable, and highly visible in food production environments.

And while our blue may be our most recognised colour, it’s part of a family. Our signature xdetect® compound is available in nine colours, each engineered with the same precision, as bright and bold as they are functional. Every colour is developed to deliver outstanding visibility, consistent detectability, and reliable mechanical performance.

BST Blue is recognisable, not simply because it’s the brightest, but because it’s the most carefully developed. Its colour is a reflection of the thought, precision, and care that go into making it the very best it can be.
