Matt Allwright, Chris Hollins and Gaby Roslin present a series investigating food hygiene. Matt looks at the 'Horsegate' scandal whilst Chris and Gaby look at yoghurt drinks.

After 'Horsegate', Matt Allwright looks at the impact of the scandal and asks where the next big food scandal may be coming from. Even after the crisis, the numbers of trading standards officers nationwide has been cut. Matt speaks to Professor Chris Elliott, who was commissioned by the government to investigate the horsemeat scandal. He thinks that there is potential for fraud in the fish industry as it comes from a complex supply chain.

Chris and Gaby put yoghurt drinks with added bacteria under the microscope. What is really in them? Gaby tries them out on a Zumba class. How will they feel after taking the drinks for three weeks?

Oxford inspectors Richard and Rachel visit a brand new caf茅 which is hoping for a high food safety rating. Their hopes may be dashed though as Richard only narrowly avoids treading on a pair of freshly baked cakes on the kitchen floor, where they have been left to cool.

Finally, Chris meets the couple who held their wedding reception in a four star country hotel. The couple and a large number of their guests fell violently ill a few days after the wedding.
