It’s not the alcohol, it’s the kebabs
Study reveals ‘shocking’ kebabs – BBC News; Tuesday, 27 January 2009
Research by the UK’s Food Standards Agency in 2006 found that 18.5% of doner takeaways posed a “significant” threat to public health, and 0.8% posed an “imminent” threat.
The worst doners inspectors came across contained 1,990 calories before salad and sauces – over 95% of a woman’s recommended daily calories, 346% of a woman’s saturated fat intake and 277% of an adult’s daily salt intake.
Some 35% of labels listed a different meat species than that actually found in the kebab.
