‘While we accept the retailers’ arguments for the need to create an authentic look,’ said the Agency, ‘such as smearing extra sludge on the organic carrots, we do feel that the mud should at least be of the same quality as the vegetables, rather than the ‘value’ low-grade muck we found in our tests.’

Oh dear, I read all this and thought it was a serious article!
