It was in the news a lot last week, has been picked up by all sorts of sites if one googles.
The mineral oils (in the inks) are allegedly contaminating the food so I thought that if they were that potent they would not be good for compost heaps. Must admit I have been using mine to start the fire the past few days.
Interesting that I am more worried about my compost heap than eating contaminated food….
