Following religious protest, U.K. sandwich chain Pret A Manger has moved to pull its Virgin Mary potato chips from stores.
The chips’ bag says they are “flavoured with Worcestershire sauce and chilli,” ingredients found in the non-alcoholic version of the Bloody Mary cocktail, which is the inspiration for the chips’ name.
Catholic group Protect the Pope led a campaign against the chips, which it claimed were offensive because its name could be interpreted as evoking Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ according to Christianity.
