Britain's Favourite Supermarket Foods is a British documentary series which was first broadcast on BBC One on 15 February 2012 as a one-off special.

Presented by Cherry Healey, the programme investigates some of the UK's favourite supermarket foods, revealing their secrets and unexpected powers.

Reception

[edit]

Lucy Mangan of The Guardian described the documentary as a "bag of utter balls", criticising its presentation of the subject matter and simplistic style, but commending Healey's enthusiasm.[1] Robert James Taylor, writing for the Shropshire Star, described it as "a painful experience" and "mind-bogglingly dumb".[2] However, Simon Usborne of The Independent described the documentary as a "public service pill...worth swallowing" for its presentation of useful dietary advice.[3]
