The future of the mouth-watering street delicacy is now in the balance, however, after it emerged that the European Union (EU) plans to ban kebabs in Britain as part of its plan to combat heart disease in the region, The Telegraph reports. A ban on kebab meat is on the cards as the EU parliament moves to ban the phosphates necessary to keep seasoned kebab meat moist and flavoursome. Under EU laws, the use of phosphates in meat preparation to protect flavour and retain water is banned. There are exceptions to the rule though, and currently there are no provisions in the law about using the formula in frozen kebab meat. The full European parliament is due to vote on the issue when it sits in Strasbourg in two weeks time.
