Trading standards officers test lamb kebabs in 20 restaurants… and found that NONE contained just lamb
Beware the next time you order a lamb kebab – as consumer watchdogs have discovered that every one they tested contained a concoction of other meats.
An investigation by trading standards officers has revealed that none of 20 lamb kebabs tested contained just lamb – while four lamb curries out of 19 did not contain any lamb at all.
• All kebabs contained a mixture of pork, beef or poultry
• Only three lamb curries tested had just lamb
• Four curries contained none at all
• Muslims may be unwittingly eating pork
• One kebab contained almost 20 times the safe levels of food colouring
Lamb is the most expensive meat consumers regularly buy, followed by beef and pork, with chicken being the cheapest.
