Snackmasters - All 4
Snackmasters - Optomen Television

Snackmasters is a BAFTA-nominated[2] British television programme, presented by Fred Sirieix and Jayde Adams, and produced by Optomen Television[1] and Channel 4.[2] The programme was broadcast on Channel 4 and streams on All 4.

The programme sees two professional chefs compete to recreate a brand-name snack food. The chefs present their replica snack to a panel of judges composed of workers involved with the manufacture of the snack, and the chef who is decided to have most faithfully recreated the snack wins the competition.[3] During each episode, presenter Jayde Adams visits the factory that manufactures each snack, comparing how accurately the chefs are recreating the process.[4]

Snackmasters was nominated for a BAFTA award in the Best Feature category at the 2020 British Academy Television Awards.[2] An Australian adaptation was broadcast in late-2021 on the Nine Network.[5]
