Snackmasters is a BAFTA-nominated British television programme, presented by Fred Sirieix and Jayde Adams, and produced by Optomen Television and Channel 4. 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. During each episode, presenter Jayde Adams visits the factory that manufactures each snack, comparing how accurately the chefs are recreating the process.
Snackmasters was nominated for a BAFTA award in the Best Feature category at the 2020 British Academy Television Awards.
An Australian adaptation of the show was first broadcast in November 2021 on the Nine Network. A New Zealand adaptation premiered on TVNZ 2 in April 2022.
