NSW: Many kebab shops only borderline on food safety

The New South Wales government says one-third of the kebabs tested in a snapshot survey
in Sydney were in the marginal category on food safety.

Primary Industries Minister IAN MACDONALD says the survey of 25 Sydney kebab shops
show most met food safety laws.

Mr MACDONALD says although it's an improvement since last month .. when interim results
of the survey showed 50 per cent were marginal .. it's still not good enough.

The minister says one of the tested kebabs was unsatisfactory .. showing slightly elevated
levels of the E. coli bacterium .. but no salmonella was detected in any of the samples.
