The Daily Record (UK):

ALMOST three-quarters of groceries bought on eBay were unfit for sale in supermarkets, a survey found.

Durham County Council trading standards officers tested 89 food items bought on the online auction site.

Fifty-one failed to meet labelling laws, 12 fell down on ingredients listing and two were not as advertised.

Tinned deep-fried insects from Thailand had a high level of zinc, Persian saffron was past its best and a cake arrived covered in mould.
