Knorr renames ‘racist’ dressing

German food company Knorr has said it will rename a popular spicy dressing because of its racist connotations.

The firm will change the name of its “Zigeuner Sauce” or “gypsy sauce” to “Paprika Sauce Hungarian Style,” the German weekly Bild am Sonntag has reported.

The spicy sauce is a staple in many German households.

“Since ‘gypsy sauce’ can be interpreted in a negative way, we have decided to give our Knorr sauce a new name,” the company’s owner Unilever said.
