OTS2015: Swallow This with Joanna Blythman

Journalist Joanna Blythman’s Swallow This is a fascinating exploration of the food processing industry and its products – not just the more obvious ready meals, but the less overtly industrial – washed salads, yoghurts, bread.   Every step in the production of these is legal, but practised by an industry with methods a world-away from our idea of domestic food preparation and obscured by technical speak, unintelligible ingredients and clever labelling practices. Joanna gained unprecedented access to factories, suppliers and industry insiders to give an eye-opening, revelatory account of what we’re really swallowing.
