Cadbury/Pascall says it will continue to market its Eskimo marshmallow sweets, despite a complaint from a Canadian tourist they are racist.
Tip Top also said today it did not intend to rename its Eskimo Pie icecreams.
Seeka Lee Veevee Parsons, 21, an Inuit of the Nunavut Territory in Canada, said she was shocked when she found the Eskimo marshmallows for sale last week, saying there were an insult to her people.
The word Eskimo was unacceptable in her country and carried with it negative racial connotations, she told the Taranaki Daily News.
She also believed the shape of the lolly was an unfair stereotype of her people.
"Pascall Eskimos are an iconic New Zealand lolly and have been enjoyed by millions of New Zealanders since they first hit shop shelves way back in 1955," he said.
Eskimo Pies, a chocolate-coated ice-cream on a stick, have been available in New Zealand since the 1940s and Tip Top said it was one of their top 10 sellers.
