Health notes

Gyro slices are a source of protein and other nutrients found in beef. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates meat products to ensure safety and proper labeling. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) evaluate food ingredients, including meat products, for safety. Typical consumption of meat as part of a balanced diet is generally considered safe.

Allergen info
