A new study has revealed that there is more than ‘meats’ the eye when it comes to the humble kebab. As part of the study officers from 76 councils sampled 494 kebabs to test their nutritional value, and discovered what has been branded "shocking" levels of salt, fat and calories in the process. The average doner tested contained almost 1,000 and the worst a whopping 1,990 calories. A normal doner was also found to contain 98% of an adult's recommended daily salt and 148% of their daily saturated fat allowance – the equivalent fat to drinking more than one and a half wine glasses of cooking oil. The man who unleashed the kebab onto the world Mahmut Aygün, the so called ‘Kebab King’, died at the age of 87 on 19 January.
