Local food outlets have been told by West Sussex Trading Standards to know their responsibilities with allergy laws.

Lamb or doner kebabs were sent for testing from various independent takeaway outlets in Sussex including in Crawley and Horsham.  Ten  out of fourteen food outlets wrongly told a diner, who said they had a milk allergy, they would be fine to eat a lamb doner.  On examination, the kebabs were all found to contain milk protein.  Tests also revealed twelve out of fourteen kebabs contained other meat species as well as lamb. 

West Sussex Trading Standards is advising food outlets on how to improve labelling and allergy information.  The investigations continue.
