Kismet Kebabs Ltd, an Essex-based supplier of kebabs for takeaways and restaurants, is fined £500,000 after regulators found its products did not match its labeling and quality claims. The company had marketed its “lamb” doner as containing a high proportion of meat, stating that it contained 87% meat. However, testing shows the product contains substantially less meat than claimed. According to the reported findings, the “lamb” doner is made up of 51% meat and 40% fat, meaning a much larger share of the product is fat and skin-related content than the company’s description suggested. The case centers on the accuracy of the company’s representations to customers and supply chain buyers about the composition of the kebab product. The fine reflects the outcome of enforcement action by the authorities following the discrepancy between stated contents and measured composition. The reports describe the matter as involving misleading product composition claims in food supplied to commercial outlets.
