Economic Tort Problem Question.
Can someone advise me as to how to identify the legal issues and answer this question? 
Thanks
Allan sets up a mini market that also sells a wide range of health foods in his home town of Swinford where there is only one supermarket, Sainsco. Over a drink in the pub with his friend Bob, who is a dietician, Alan learns that Bob that Sainsco’s own brand of powdered milk designed for consumption by babies contains certain chemicals that have been banned in other European countries because of a proven link between their consumption and cancer in young children.
One week later, further to their agreement in the pub, Alan and Bob decide to issue warning leaflets to the public outside the Sainsco supermarket. As a result of receiving and reading the leaflets, many customers take their trade to Alan’s mini-market. Also, Shelia, who also works at Sainsco, and who also read the leaflets, refuses to sell any of the powdered milk to customers who seek to buy it at her checkout till. In addition, a local farmer who also read the leaflet, discontinues his contract with Sainsco for the supply of organic produce. In consequence Sainsco are now forced to buy equivalent produce from elsewhere at a much higher price.
Advise Sainsco how, if at all, it might invoke the economic torts on these facts.
