Abstract
A leak detection system for detecting breaches in sealed food containers is disclosed. The leak detection system comprises a first optical sensor configured to transmit a light signal across a first testing path, said first optical sensor being sensitive to gas composition variations. A permeable pressing member is configured to, in use, apply pressure to the sealed food container. The first optical sensor is arranged such that at least a portion of the first testing path along which the light signal is transmitted is located behind or within the permeable pressing member.
