The food critic Jay Rayner presents a Dispatches special tonight on budget food lines and examines the ingredients that go into them.
Rayner wrote on this topic in last weekend’s Observer, and mentioned some pretty unpleasant findings: beef pies that are only 18% beef, apple pies that are only 14% apple, the use of ‘connective tissues’ to pad out meat fillings.
Should be an interesting show; it’s on tonight at 8pm on Channel 4.
