How come Food Network doesn't show the labels of what they are using? Wouldn't be great advertising for corps who would probably pay food network to advertise on show?

They don't show the labels because the brand didn't pay. If you see a label with a brand on it they probably paid.

For a cooking show it's probably not going to be worth the time and effort to get a contract in place for every ingredient, so you only see it occasionally.

To rephrase this: they take the time to block out labels to ensure there is a reason for the brands to pay.

You answered yourself, if you don't see the brand, that brand didn't paid for the exposition.

Food Network sales execs looking at this

If they didn't already know about it, they're pretty shitty execs. It's been SOP for decades
