UK – Kebab firm fed millions of Britons goat, chicken drumsticks and animal fat mislabelled as lamb in scandal likened to horsemeat food fraud crisis
Millions of Britons have chowed down on goat kebabs, it is estimated, in a scandal likened to the horsemeat crisis. DNA testing revealed that doner meat from a leading supplier, advertised as ’70 percent lamb’, was in fact ‘less than 10 percent sheep’.
‘We were seeing labels that bore no resemblance to what they were actually putting in [to the kebabs],’ Mr Harries said. ‘They were charging wholesalers and consumers a premium price for something that’s full of rubbish.’
