Kismet Kebabs Caught Deceiving

Kismet Kebabs Caught Deceiving

Author: The Daily News Now! June 8, 2026 Duration: 1:33

A major kebab chain, Kismet Kebabs, just got slammed with a £500,000 fine after being caught selling “lamb” doner that was mostly skin and fat—not the 87% meat they advertised. Investigations revealed they were pushing out just 51% meat and 40% fat, using goat and other non-meat substances while calling it “real lamb.” The court found this wasn’t accidental—it was intentional fraud, with the company even winning a top supplier award just months before the scandal broke. Now they’re also on the hook for £259,000 in court costs, with the judge calling their deception “endemic.” Four years to pay up—but this case exposes how little we know about what’s really in our food.
