A BBC documentary series that takes you inside the factories producing the food and drink the nation consumes every day, revealing step by step exactly how products are made, packaged, and scaled for mass production. Combining comedy, science, and social history, it is as entertaining as it is eye-opening, and watching it naturally makes you more conscious of what goes into modern processed food and how far removed it often is from its natural origins. Recommended for anyone curious about food manufacturing and what really happens between the farm and the supermarket shelf.
