In the examination of lamb was ten times, ten times or lamb shawarma-kebab bought lamb curry and minced lamb ten times. There was no trace of lamb in six times, but instead beef or Turkey. In eight other portions was what lamb, but also at least 40% other meat.

"It is too crazy for words that you buy or order and is fobbed off with something else or something of lesser quality '', says Director of the consumers ' Association Bart Combée. The bond is in favour of mandatory checks for authenticity and a reporting duty for supermarkets and manufacturers if they find defects.
