Kebab estimates include 5 g dry seasoning for large/XL skewers and 2 g for cocktail skewers within the listed raw weight. Lamb uses Krio Krush Moroccan Spice #3930 supplier nutrition; other seasoning values are comparable planning estimates. Comparable seasoning values are used while supplier panels are unavailable; actual coverage, skin content and sodium may differ. Planning estimate only. Fibre estimates use comparable products and may differ from the actual recipe. AFCD values may differ from your label. Check ingredients, allergens, current pack labels, preparation instructions and finished yield. Smart Choices colours must be confirmed using QAST guidance. This calculator is not an allergen safety tool or official QAST approval. Nutrition does not include cooking oil unless you add it as an ingredient.
