Instant noodles, a basic food staple around the world, are consumed at a rate of more than 100 billion servings per year, and during the pandemic alone there was a 10% increase in demand. Major producers in countries such as China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan supply a wide variety of brands with different flavors, intended for millions of consumers. Given the high demand and tight schedules, maintaining consistent quality is critical to meet market needs. Manufacturers must ensure that every batch meets the required standards of texture, appearance, and taste – and that machine vision cameras can detect defects in instant noodles within mere milliseconds.
