ABSTRACT An automated apparatus for gripping and probing food products is provided, so as to test the products whilst they are moving on a conveyor. The apparatus has a pair of Jaws, which move forward and close when the food product is detected in the appropriate position, so as to grip the product between the faces of the Jaws. Whilst so gripped, a probe moves forward to penetrate and test the product, e.g. for temperature, pH, conductivity etc. then the sequence of operations is reversed, withdrawing the probe, releasing and withdrawing the Jaws, so that the product can move on and the apparatus is positioned to grip and test the next food item moving down the conveyor. the apparatus is particularly well suited for testing suspended meat products.
