Fears for customer safety as shocking images shared of dried fish and chicken inside Walsall shop
Shocking images of dried fish and chicken out on display in a Walsall shop have been shared on social media – the council is now investigating.
The Walsall Trading Standards Savvy Shopper Facebook page, part of Walsall Council, shared the images and called it a "shocking disregard for customer safety".
In a post on the page, it said: "Some issues with the labelling and storage of this food... can you spot them?
"Found on sale in Walsall yesterday by Trading Standards, and in all seriousness this is a shocking disregard for customer safety and food law.
"If unsure, retailers just need to ask for advice. tradingstandards@walsall.gov.uk."
The pictures show dried fish sitting, unpackaged and unlabelled, in a bucket inside a shop, and also dried, blackened chicken lying unpackaged and without a label.
It is not known which store the food was from.
Walsall Council said an investigation is taking place.
