A Dewsbury takeaway owner has pleaded guilty to food fraud.
Vasim Iqbal, owner of Armaans Restaurant & Takeaway, appeared before Huddersfield Magistrates Court where he pleaded guilty to offences under the Food Safety Act 1990.
He was fined £500 with a £50 surcharge, and he was ordered to pay £500 costs.
On 21st March 2016, following previous concerns regarding illegal meat substitution at the premises, an officer from West Yorkshire Trading Standards visited Armaans. The Officer placed an order for a lamb balti, which was advertised on the trader’s standard menu.
The meal was collected by the officer and subsequently submitted to and analysed by the Public Analyst. The analysis determined that the meat used in the lamb balti was actually beef.
In addition, Mr Iqbal was requested to produce details of his suppliers for meat, however he failed to do so.
