(CNN) UK grocery chain Waitrose has apologized after being accused of racism over the names of three chocolate ducklings.

The "Waitrose Trio of Chocolate Easter Ducklings" contains a white, milk and dark chocolate version, which were named "Fluffy," "Crispy" and "Ugly" respectively.

A Twitter user questioned why Waitrose had chosen to call the darkest duckling "Ugly."

"Overheard women saying 'this is not right,' I agree, doesn't look good at all," wrote Livia A. Aliberti on March 7.
