Consumer rights in doubt Campaigners say shoppers are better informed but polls point to concerns Greece's consumers are much better informed about the safety and quality of the food and drink they buy than they were some 10 years ago, experts said yesterday, even though polls suggest that the Greeks are some of Europe's biggest worriers about the impact of suspect products.
