I doubt that Tesco or Sainsbury's would sell any that were infected.

They would just be sold as prepared potatoes of some kind, where the scabbed skins were peeled off.

Thanks, it's a bit "in your face" but hopefully I can get away with it for the Christmas period!

Yep I have bought seed pots with a lot of scab on.

Also one or two were mouldy, bright green stuff..

These were mail order from a big player.. I now don't buy unless I have checked them myself.
