BBC One - Rip Off Britain, Food: Series 3, Episode 7

Revealing how safe those half-eaten jars of food at the back of the fridge are to eat.

Gloria Hunniford, Angela Rippon and Julia Somerville investigate the truth about food, revealing the reality of how safe those leftover, half-eaten jars of food are to eat.

Revealing the surprising lab tests on whether those half-eaten jars lurking at the back of your fridge are still safe to eat. With some foods carrying warnings that, once opened, they should be consumed within a few days or weeks - what happens if they're not? Also, they may cost more, but are the fancy soups sold as fresh any healthier than the cheaper varieties that come in a tin? And, as myths about the microwave are debunked, there's unexpected advice on some foods you might never have thought of cooking in there.
