Season 22 - Episode 30 - Aired 12/15/2022

Soups, sauces and stews: they only deserve a wreath as soon as laurel is added. Warm and woody, that's how chefs describe the taste. But it may cost something. Sometimes even eight hundred euros per kilo. You can buy whole bay plants for next to nothing. Reap your riches. The Inspection Service wants to know how it is possible that bay leaf in a bag is very expensive. Could it be because some bags say that the leaves have been selected by hand? A tasty story about golden hands in laurel picking.

Season 22 - Episode 23 - Aired 10/20/2022

Bring the sun into your home with sun-dried tomatoes. From salads to tapenades, pizzas to pasta: every dish can be made with it in the summer. Good also for that Italian touch. But how do they actually do that, fry hundreds of millions of tomatoes open and brown? Because when is it too hot? And when too cold? Not to mention rain. The Inspection Service of Value prepares itself well for a search for Italian sun-dried tomatoes and, strangely enough, ends up in Turkey.

#9 - Natural wine

Season 22 - Episode 28 - Aired 11/24/2022

Wine was once a simple grape drink. Then people started making things complicated. And now there is something new again: wine as the simplest drink it once was. Natural wine is on nice labels. Tough sommeliers swear by it. Stubborn liquor stores cannot get hold of the bottles. Because natural wine would be pure wine. With as little human interference as possible. Wine, straight from nature. But when is wine natural and when is it not? The value inspection service takes a dip in natural grape juice and comes home with a hangover.

#10 - Ecological cleaning

Season 22 - Episode 22 - Aired 10/13/2022

Man just makes a mess of it. And so we scrub and scrub ourselves silly every day. From small loads to large loads, the dishes to the toilet bowl. And the wonderful thing is that it can now all be done with a radiantly clean conscience. Because the shelves are full of them: cleaning products that claim to be ecological. Green and supposedly inspired by nature. But how ecological are all those ecological resources actually? The Inspection Service of Value about how green cleaning products are playing tricks on us.

#11 - Beter voor

Season 22 - Episode 20 - Aired 9/29/2022

In the past, supermarkets barely cared about the state of the world. The environment hardly bothered them. The farmer was given the money. Not to mention animal suffering. But fortunately that misery is finally behind us. The country's largest wholesaler is making a big deal with a historic turnaround. 'Better for', Albert Heijn now puts on countless products. From vegetables and fruit, to pork, cow and chicken. With 'Better for', the supermarket promises improvement for just about everything and everyone. But better than what? And why not just the best for it?

#12 - Sustainable on Holiday

Season 22 - Episode 18 - Aired 9/9/2022

We were finally allowed to go on holiday again, but the Inspection Service almost stayed home. Because a long-distance pleasure trip may be fun, but it would do the world little good. The earth is becoming too hot, the environment is under heavy strain and the paths are being trampled. Fortunately, holiday sellers have found a solution: sustainable holidays. Without and with airplane. From safaris in Africa to all-inclusives in Turkey. Not only far, but also fair. But how do they actually do that: make your holiday eco?

Season 22 - Episode 16 - Aired 8/25/2022

There is no French cheese that the Dutch have eaten as much as brie. The regular guest on the drinks and cheese board has even been given a permanent place in our basic sandwich spread package. But the Inspection Service noticed something: one brie is not the same as the other. There is round brie and square. Brie with an odor and brie without an odor. There is cream brie and 'normal' brie. From cow and goat. But when is brie actually brie? And when not? We visit the source of all brie and find out that the Dutch treat the cheese with the French twist.

#21 - Crab

Season 22 - Episode 29 - Aired 12/8/2022

Ask for North Sea crab in a fish shop or restaurant and you often only get a few legs. Defused claws, once part of a spry crab. It is said to be the easiest part of the crustacean to eat. But where did the rest of the beast actually go? The carcass of a crab is never for sale separately in the fish shop. The Value Inspection Service is scratching its head, scouring the North Sea and discovering that the crab is in serious trouble as soon as it comes into human hands.

#22 - Meat with an edge

Season 22 - Episode 27 - Aired 11/17/2022

Even pale meat products cannot escape the fad. Suddenly many pre-packed slices of chicken, ham and bacon have been put in trendy brown jackets. Fresh off the grill, it says on one. Other packages mention oven-baked or roasted. And some even have multiple preparations mixed together. But what is the difference between grilling, baking and roasting? And do any of those methods even come into play with these meat products? Inspection Service Van Waarde about how meat products reach their limits.

#23 - Oyster

Season 22 - Episode 26 - Aired 11/10/2022

Of all the shellfish we eat, none is as cherished as the oyster. Standard on the menu at an additional cost. Good for good decoration. Whether it is called Zeeland creuse or Zeeland flat, Fines de Claire or Gillardeau: you can brag about the oyster. But how is it possible that they are always there? It is known that you only eat mussels when the R is in the month, but oysters are always on the menu. The Inspection Service of Value about how people ensure that oysters can also be ordered out of season.

#24 - Rookworst

Season 22 - Episode 25 - Aired 11/3/2022

As soon as the weather is dark, cold and chilly, he is always brought out of the stable: Rookworst. The 'just act normal, then you're acting crazy enough' incarnate. Dead simple and quintessentially Dutch. But now the incarnate is also starting to become complicated. In addition to vacuum-packed, fresh products are also available in supermarkets. Cold from the refrigerator, sometimes even without a bag. The Value Inspection Service wants to know what they actually mean by fresh. Because rookworst is smoked, so it is no longer fresh?

#25 - Bamboo

Season 22 - Episode 24 - Aired 10/27/2022

The panda likes it and humans have recently started spinning yarn with it: bamboo. Whether it is a romper or underwear, fashion made from bamboo is said to be extremely special. Buttery soft, protective and, above all, extremely durable. Because bamboo shoots to heaven even faster than beanpole. Nice, but how do they actually do it: spin such silky soft fabrics from rock-hard bamboo? The Inspection Service is biting into bamboo textiles and comes across a story that you won't be left out in the cold.
