A Russian food company is being criticised for naming its new ice cream “poor Jew”.

Slavitsa in the federal republic of Tatarstan launched the new cone last month, describing it as a “crusty horn” of chocolate and prune flavoured ice cream, topped with peanuts.

“Trying all this tastiness, it turns out that he is not so ‘poor’,” the company’s description of the product adds.

The cone is wrapped in an Israeli flag, complete with a blue Star of David.
