Thirsk takeway fined over ‘ostrich’ curry found to be sheep meat

A takeaway restaurant has been fined more than £1,500 for serving a curry which was said to contain ostrich meat but actually contained meat from sheep.

Abdul Malik Ali, of Amalik Cafe Ltd, Thirsk, pleaded guilty to offences under the Food Safety Act 1990 when he appeared at York Magistrates’ Court on Friday.

Ali ran the Jaipur Spice at the Busby Stoop Inn, near Thirsk, when North Yorkshire Council trading standards officers bought a meal from there in December 2023 which was described as ostrich curry but, after being tested, it was instead found to contain sheep meat.

In his defence, Ali said a temporary chef had mistakenly selected the wrong meat while preparing the meal.
