The SteriPlast^® scoop for foodstuffs, made of blue polystyrene, is produced (except for the 1000 ml scoop) and assembled in a class 7 clean room (10,000) individually packaged for disposable use and then sterilised by gamma rays. The food scoop is ideal for powders, granulates and pastes.

The shade of blue that is used does not occur in a natural form in foodstuffs. Because of this, the scoops or parts of them can be quickly found and easily identified in a visual check if they are ever mixed into production.
The detectable scoops have a special additive in the material that makes them visible to metal detectors or X rays. They can therefore be rejected with standard systems for checking for foreign objects, even though they are made of plastic.
