Bootleg Booze
Matt Allwright investigates the countrywide problem of bootleg booze. Would you be able to spot a fake bottle of plonk, or vodka with dangerously high levels of industrial alcohol? And did you know the majority of food poisoning happens at home?
Chris Hollins teams up with food inspector Ben Milligan and drops in on an unsuspecting family at mealtime. Are they cooking clean or risking their health with bad food hygiene?
Also, the team take on the owner of an Indian restaurant who thinks he knows best, and Chris dishes the dirt on one of the most evil types of bacteria around.
Food Fraud
Matt is down on the farm where the animal health team are checking that the cows are free from tuberculousis, a disease that can be transmitted to humans in both milk and meat. Meanwhile, Chris and our own food inspector Ben Milligan are surprise guests at a Hollywood party in High Wycombe, where the preparations come under the spotlight. Matt and Chris also visit a roadside cafe in Wolverhampton where the owner doesn't have a good word to say about the inspectors - but it turns out they have a good reason for concern.
Takeaway Terrors
Fast food is a massive problem for the food inspectors, and in this episode, takeaways in Southend come under the scrutiny of veteran food inspector Steve Ramm. Are the kebabs and burgers being cooked correctly, and do the people cooking know the food hygiene rules?
In the country, Sara Procter tackles a Suffolk pub landlord whose standards have been slipping. Meanwhile in London, Chris Hollins and food inspector Ben Milligan go to City University, where the students learn some shocking lessons about food hygiene.
Infestation

They tackle cockroaches in a kitchen in Brent, north London and a hotel in Northamptonshire which needs to make serious improvements to avoid poisoning the guests.
There's also a surprise food inspection to a busy working office to see what dangers we face eating lunch at our desks.
