Per-serving totals divide the recipe batch by the number of serves. Per 100 g uses the finished batch yield you enter. Fibre may use a labelled comparable-product estimate. AFCD values are generic; packet labels may differ.

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.
