Unauthorised Prosecco-flavoured Pringles seized in Italy

Officials in Italy have seized 250 tubes of Prosecco flavoured Pringles crisps, after claims the company used the sparkling wine’s name without permission.

Pringles produced the limited-edition range of crisps in December 2018.

Prosecco is protected under the EU’s stringent designations of origin (PDO) rules.

The packets were seized from a supermarket in Veneto in north eastern Italy last week.

The region is known for producing the sparkling wine.

“Identity theft cannot be allowed,” said Teresa Bellanova, Italy’s agriculture policy minister.
