Briony May Williams - sorry - has got to be the most inept unprofessional tv presenter in any program - shouting and asking lame questions. It is embarrassing watching her try to do this job. She is not cut out for it. I love food unwrapped but to have people who are not up to the job at all used in the program is just silly.

Food partially unwrapped
spewy291675 January 2018
This show is better than most magazine shows, it is quite informative. You can learn the differences between the reasons for different colored olives and where dates come from for example, usually hosted by an overly flirty Kate Qilton.
There are some issues. Mainly that they are very mainstream, some myths are busted, but only if they are positive. This means never delving into too much detail. Negatives that might put viewers off or worse advertisers are never mentioned. Look at these delicious Almonds! Don't mention the water shortage. Look at these happy cattle, don't mention the short painful life and death or the enormous carbon footprint.
An OK show, but watch it with a huge pinch of salt.

glace cherries eposide
rozmck22 February 2018
Today I watched an episode of Food Unwrapped that dealt with glace cherry's and their production.
I have worked in lab dealing in food technology for many years, there was a lot of vital information omitted ....or not included in that particular episode, I know the process that (in this case cherry's) go through as well as the ingredients and chemical used to achieve the end result, very toxic, one little example... the person interviewed stated the colours used to colour the fruit was "natural" completely false, or that persons definition of natural does not meet the standards or requirements of most first world countries. I would strongly suggest that using this type of processed fruit be kept to a total minimum or IMO ...NOT AT ALL there are plenty of other options for baking and decorating fruit cakes....If you only know the complete truth about the process, you would understand my perspective.
Do your own research & choose wisely.
Kind regards r.
Informative but condescending
Beachbum201827 February 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Why is it some programmes end up being dumbed down so much they become condescending?
The premise of the series is good but the execution is terrible, clearly the presenters are intelligent, experienced professionals but they end behaving like their cumulative IQ is 85, trying to appeal to 95% of the population, but losing everyone with an IQ over 100 (50% of the population).
Silly little high school giggle scenes like they just saw someone's underpants showing above their trouser belts, obviously fake eye widening shock poses when someone reveals a totally obvious point, copious cheap belly laughs when they make a funny statement and belittling interview style with food experts they meet as if they know nothing .... leaves me utterly cold, if you ever met these people in real life you'd want to slap them, not shake their hand!
Then there's the little head nodding / shaking stick on face cartoon figures of each presenter..... so irritating in the extreme!
The end result is a programme aimed at children's TV rather than an adult audience, and they become figures of derision, alienating the viewer not engaging them!
A pity, it could be so much better!
5 stars is for the informative aspects only!
