The supermarket announced on Thursday its own brand of ‘Chicken Kiev’ and similarly named products in the Deli section would now be changed to ‘Chicken Kyiv’ to recognise the true name of the Ukrainian capital city.
“The name change will be made immediately online, and gradually roll out to our own brand products and signage in-store in the coming weeks.” “Woolworths gets it — Ukraine is different to Russia. Ukraine, Ukraine has its own language, its own culture, its own history. That’s why using the Russian spelling for the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, in ‘Chicken Kiev’ has always offended Ukrainians,” he said.
So that's how you get rid of Kiev ... just call Woolworths
This is complete rubbish.
I think they are russhin this through
People are dying and this I s the response
Wokeworths….
now its called hostages kiev 🤔
Maybe they could change the name to 'Chicken Cheer' because that worked for the idiots at Coon Cheese.
Smacks of the old 'friendship fries' farce. With such an horrendous event happening in Ukraine this is all just a little to little to be arsed about.
get their ass
why do they think this is a good idea, chickens are killed to make this, they reminding people of death in that city now
Struggling not to laugh. How to trivialise the plight of the Ukrainian people in one simple, easy step? Do this!
That'll show Putin.
Don’t really care. I would never buy meat at Woolies or Coles . That’s what god invented your local butcher.
I was about to express my wokeness. But Woolworths has beaten me to it!
Lol seriously rubbish- nobody cares really. Chicken Kiev is just the origin or style probably it’s cooked. Now surely with new name you must change the cooking style
This is newsworthy. No, really.
Pointless
Thankyou for solving this humanitarian crisis woolworths you have saved countless lives and brought peace to the world
The wool in woolworths is insulting to the sheep population. Did they get asked your company could claim there product name as your own? Where is the justice
This is crazy
You lot make a decent marketing department for the fat cats of business - BUT - you are meant to be a news organisation. Not sure you realise that. See that account name you use ⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️
Isn't Kiev actually in Ukraine? What will they call it? Australian raised chicken breast sliced and stuffed with butter and garlic then crumbed? I'll still ask for a Kiev.
Whatever that is it’s woolies sell it’s not a chicken Kiev/Kyiv
Please stop it. Stop the virtue signalling and the insanity - it doesn't prove you 'care' or you are doing something. If you start down this line you are going to have to rename lots of products....
