Doner kebabs under threat as EU moves to ban key ingredient | The Independent
Is doner a goner? Kebabs could be banned under EU plans to combat heart disease

EU rules could see kebabs banned | Daily Mail Online
It even went viral on Facebook and spread to places like Denmark.... where our journalists first fell for it, until they fact checked the story. Even the Danish version of the Daily Mail is backtracking big time at the moment.
The truth is somewhat different and more boring..
As the Independent states...
False.. it is already banned to add EXTRA phosphates and some one within the EU system proposed to change that ban. Basically what it means is someone wants to be allowed to pump extra phosphates (water basically) into the Kebab meat to make it even more moist, but the EU food agency is presently conducting a review on how it effects food and humans, and so far the results are not good for allowing the change. A Danish MEP Christel Schaldemose wrote (in Danish yes..) an editorial exposing the hypocrisy. You can read it here.

The Kebab as we know it today is totally safe and totally full of natural phosphates, and is not being touched.. and yet the poorly informed journalists are pushing another narrative and not fact checking. It has as of yet not been corrected on most English news sites.. the Danish ones are starting to correct their stories... but the damage is done.
So no wonder people have issues with the EU, when false stories like this are not only being promoted everywhere, but are not corrected when the actual facts come out.
