At Welch’s factory, Concord grape juice cooks in kettles. Machines add pectin as it cools and the mixture is then poured into jars. The product sets after two days.

Wonder Bread (03:24)

At Wonder bakeries, a mixer combines flour, water, and other ingredients; a divider pinches the resulting dough into loaves and drops them into pans where they rise. The product undergoes baking, cooling, and slicing before it is immediately bagged.
