Under the Sale of Goods Act and other applicable legislation, goods must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and as described. Perishable goods arriving in a spoiled state would not meet the standard of satisfactory quality, even if sold by sample or description. This is an implied term that protects the buyer.
