Dear MEL Topic Readers,
EU gives doner kebabs a health grilling
Doner kebab is a Turkish kebab. It’s usually made of meat, such as lamb and beef, cooked on a vertical rotisserie. The sliced meat is often stuffed into a pita with vegetables, which is a very popular fast food in the Middle East and Europe. However, there are some health concerns just like other fast foods, including the hygiene for storage and reheating, high salt, fat, and calorie levels.
Also, the use of phosphate additives is concerned by the EU regulators. They are commonly used in processed meat, ham, sausages, canned fish, and cola for longer shelf life, making foods creamier, keeping the moisture. Though the chemical element is essential for humans, it is found to have a bad effect on cardiovascular disease. It is also used in matches and fertilizers. Sounds scary, doesn’t it?
How much is too much? Also, is it feasible to regulate and enforce the amount of such poisonous chemical per serving on the street?
Enjoy reading and remembering how much ham, sausage, canned tuna fish, kebab and kola drinks you’ve enjoyed for the last few weeks.
