A kebab shop owner has been ordered to pay £2,000 compensation after selling a pizza with a bolt embedded in the crust.
Mehmet Gilgil, 25, pleaded guilty to selling food not of the 'substance or quality required' after an inch-long lump of metal was found baked into a pizza at Flames Kebabs in Romford, East London.
The bolt is believed to have come loose inside the oven and fallen into the pizza as it cooked.

Mr Gilgil was fined £1,000 and ordered to pay £750 in costs and a £100 victim surcharge for serving the pizza to an unsuspecting customer in December 2012.
Romford council’s 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.'
