“The third was allegations of selling unfit food. This is something we vehemently disagree with the inspector about, when fruits or vegetables go past their best, we sell them off cheap out the front for soups and jams etc, we have always done this. We have explained over and again that items that may not be at its best can still be used for preserves and other forms of cooking, and that to throw anything away just because it isn’t perfect but can still be used is a waste of food. Once any fruit or veg has gone too far past it’s best, we dispose of it.”
