from the “no, really?” files: Study reveals ‘shocking’ kebabs
From BBC News:
Doner kebabs sold in the UK contain “shocking” levels of salt, fat and calories, a survey has concluded.
…
The average doner they tested contained almost 1,000 calories – half a woman’s recommended daily intake.
Geoffrey Theobald, of Lacors, said: “The level of saturated fat and salt in some is a serious cause for concern.”
He added that while they “would never consider kebabs part of a calorie-controlled diet” the true content of the average kebab was worrying.
Among the kebabs sampled – without salad or sauces – the average doner contained 98% of an adult’s recommended daily salt and 148% of their daily saturated fat allowance.
Under the supermarket “traffic lights” system, red marks would be earned by 97% for fat, 98% for saturated fat and 96% for salt.
Um, ya think? This is a bit more worrying tho:
Six kebabs were found to include pork when it had not been declared as an ingredient. Two of the six were described as Halal – food or drink permitted for Muslims, which must not contain pork.
Mr Theobald said it was “totally unacceptable” that people that with certain faiths were unknowingly eating meats that were against their beliefs.
Yet another reason – on top of the “what meat is that?” thing and the fact they taste awful – not to eat kebabs. Might have to go do some of this to counter even reading about it
