London cafe slammed for ‘deeply offensive’ items after selling ‘Nutzy’ smoothie with a swastika on the bottle

A cafe has been slammed for selling a “Nutzy” smoothie with a swastika on the bottle.

A woman who lost family in the Holocaust asked the manager to remove it but he refused. She said: “I left the shop almost in tears.”

Nin Com Soup shop inside Old Street Tube station in North London flogs the 300ml nuts-based drink for £3.95.

Karen Pollock MBE, Chief Executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust, said: “This ‘branding’ attached to this soft drink is offensive – it demonstrates at best, a lack of sensitivity and at worst, complete disrespect for the millions murdered during the Holocaust.”

1. Employee sacked

Sadly, an employee deemed it appropriate to put a Swastika on a smoothie named 'The Nutzy'.

This was unsanctioned and the bottles were removed immediately upon being alerted by our shop manager.

Needless to say the rogue employee has been dismissed. This was incomprehensible, extremely insensitive, and upsetting to all of us.

We unreservedly apologise.

– BEN PAGE-PHILLIPS, FOUNDER OF 'NINCOMSOUP'

It's not clear what role the shop manager played, though - in that, it says he/she removed the offensive bottles, but the original story says it was the manager who refused to remove them. You would think a shop manager would know all the types of smoothies that have been put on the shelves without a customer having to alert them.
