JON HEIN GUIDES VIEWERS THROUGH THE MAKING OF DELECTABLE SWEETS, TREATS, AND EATS IN DESTINATION AMERICA’S
“FOOD FACTORY”
-- New Series Coming to Destination America on Monday, January 14 at 10 and 10:30 PM (E/P)–
(Silver Spring, MD)—Dubble
Bubble gum, Planters peanuts, Dannon yogurt, Campbell’s soup,
and SunChips. We crave them. Buy them. Open them, and eat them. But
behind every one of these deceptively simple food products is a
fascinating and intricate process involving grand machinery, a symphony
of assembly lines, and a suite of weird and wonderful
steps that carries each treat from the factory floor right into your
kitchen. Destination America’s new series
FOOD FACTORY takes viewers behind the scenes to see how some of
America’s most beloved products are made. From iconic international
brands to mom-and-pop products, each involves a process ripe with zigs,
zags, swoops, and alleyoops as they travel down
the production line. Along the way, marvel at the machinery – some
mega, some miniscule – sophisticated manufacturing techniques, and
revealing food science. Narrated by
“The Howard Stern Show” radio personality and Destination America veteran
Jon Hein,
FOOD FACTORY premieres on Monday, January 14 at 10 and 10:30 PM (E/P) on Destination America.
“This
snack-filled series will nostalgically transport viewers back to their
childhood, when raiding their parents’ pantry was like discovering
a treasure trove of sugary, salty fun,” said Marc Etkind, senior vice
president of content strategy for Destination America. “FOOD FACTORY is like winning a golden ticket to go see the Willy Wonka – but then you’ll never look at a chocolate bar the
same way again.”
Throughout the 26-episode first season of
FOOD FACTORY, viewers go behind the scenes of some of the most
mouth-watering food factories, including Lay’s, Tootsie Roll, Dannon,
Planters, PepsiCo, Quaker and more.
FOOD FACTORY reveals the manufacturing processes behind common
edibles, with each episode going behind the scenes at high-tech
factories to feature the transformation of four different products from
raw materials to finished treats. Mixing, chopping,
sifting, filling, freezing, boiling, and wrapping are just a few of the
transfixing steps viewers witness in each episode. Brand ambassadors
and factory employees also chime in to recount the product’s history in
American cuisine, touching on nostalgic elements
in pop culture as well as the product’s evolution over the decades.
In the premiere episode of
FOOD FACTORY at 10 PM (E/P), discover
how Chapman’s perfect ice cream cones, Pop Shoppe’s retro fizzy soda
pop, Primo’s pasta, and the world’s best chewing gum, Dubble Bubble, are
produced
for the masses. Then at 10:30, learn how Campbell’s trusty
condensed vegetable soup, Tootsie Roll’s sweet and chewy Razzles,
Wiser’s fine Canadian whiskey, and Bridor Bakery’s sweet sticky brioche
gets from the warehouse to your cupboard.
From raw materials to finished products,
FOOD FACTORY reveals the wonders of how food is really made.
FOOD FACTORY
is produced by Cineflix Productions with Simon Lloyd and Philip Whelan
as executive
producers. For Destination America, Sara Kozak is senior vice president
of production, Marc Etkind is senior vice president, content strategy
and Henry Schleiff is president and general manager.
