The bolt came from the ovens being used to cook the pizzas.
Mehmet Gilgil , who at the time of the offence in December 2012 was the registered food business operator and owner of Flames Kebab, pleaded guilty to selling food not of the “substance or quality” required. He was fined £1,000 and ordered to pay £750 in costs.
Cabinet Member for Public Protection, Councillor Lesley Kelly said:
“Selling shoddy products of any kind is not acceptable and is particularly important when preparing food. We will always prosecute and seek the highest possible fine to make sure that everyone maintains standards in their kitchens. This was a cheap bolt that got someone an expensive fine and that should be a lesson to others.”
