Farmer Jimmy Doherty asks what really goes into supermarket food. He discovers how to make peanut butter on an industrial scale and how tea tasters ensure quality.

Jimmy's Food Factory is back to unravel the secrets of supermarket food. Farmer Jimmy Doherty sets up his own food factory in a barn. Using farmyard and household junk, he is creating his own supermarket production line to find out what they are really doing to our food.

In this episode, Jimmy makes breakfast with a bang when he uses a specially built cannon to create puffed rice cereal. And he finds out that pedal power is essential when you're trying to make peanut butter on an industrial scale.

At a yogurt factory, there's an invisible, unpaid workforce of billions to help Jimmy make his own strawberry yogurt.

And tea is Jimmy's favourite drink - he has fifteen cups a day! So he's in heaven when he visits a tea factory to find out how the chief tea taster makes sure every cuppa tastes as good as the last.
