Food Unwrapped is a 2014 book about the food industry by the British writer Daniel Tapper. It is based on a BBC Channel 4 television series of the same name,[1][2] and covers food science and food technology in mass-produced foods[3] with the objective of "dispel[ing] food myths and reveal[ing] some truths about the food we buy".[4] Subjects covered in the book include the relative merits of sea salt versus table salt;[5] and the harm or lack of harm in artificial food colorings and flavorings.[2][3]

The book's author has also been a contributor to The Guardian[6] and Waitrose Kitchen.[7] In 2013, using knowledge he acquired as a self-taught homebrewer, Tapper opened a brewery producing American pale ale style beer (using American Cascade hops).[1][8]
