Food Unwrapped explores how our food is really made and the industry
secrets behind our favourite produce. Reporters Matt Tebbutt, James Watt,
Martin Dickie and Kate Quilton travel the globe to discover just how the
food we love is mass produced. The series contacts supermarkets and
producers with simple questions about the food we buy: What's the
wax on my lemons?; What are the bacteria in my Probiotics?; What is
formed ham?

If they can't explain it, the gang of hungry detectives stop at nothing
to find out, travelling to the food producers who supply the supermarkets
to investigate, from Liverpool to Swaziland, and Thailand to Spain.
Taking the cameras behind the doors of factories worldwide, the
inquisitive food lovers meet food technicians, scientists, factory owners,
growers and producers in order to reveal weird and wonderful facts we never
knew about our food.

Original Air-Date: Monday 29 October 2012

Kate travels from Essex to Holland to try and find out how sandwich
manufacturers stop our packet tomato sarnies from going soggy. And the
team investigate how strawberry flavoured foods really get their strawberry
flavour.

Kate starts at one of the UKs most innovative sandwich factories, which
supplies shops, hospitals, the House of Commons and even Buckingham Palace,
who surely wouldnt stand for soggy sandwiches. The sandwiches are cut by a
sonic laser to ensure the perfect slice, with clever spreading of margarine
and layering of ingredients to stop moisture leakage. But the real revelation
is that they use a tomato that has been specially bred to stop soggy
sandwiches. The Intense Tomato, launched in 2007, is very firm, with few
seeds, and makes hardly any juice when squeezed, but is incredibly tasty and
a deep red colour. In Holland, Kate discovers that this hybrid tomato took 10
years to develop, using the latest cross-pollination and plant DNA technology.

Strawberry is one of the most popular flavours in yoghurts, sweets, drinks
and cakes. Matt and food scientist Rachel Edwards Stuart try to make strawberry
yoghurt with the average amount of strawberries in supermarkets' own brands
- 10% - but can't produce any flavour. Martin Dickie visits the huge Nestle
factory that makes Fruit Pastilles to ask how they get the strawberry pastilles
so strawberry-ish and discovers that a six-times-concentrated strawberry flavour
and strawberry oils are the key. And they both contain some strawberries, which
means the factory can put a picture of a strawberry on the packet.
