Raza Hassan, 25, spotted the deal at a Tesco store in Liverpool Street, London, and told BuzzFeed News he found the deal "hilarious".

Many Muslims believe it is forbidden to eat pork and would therefore be surprised to see a Ramadan deal being promoted with bacon, Hassan said.

"They had other flavours as well, it just seemed someone had stacked them in to the Ramadan promotional one by mistake!" he told BuzzFeed News. "It didn't offend me at all – but the irony of it was hilarious."

A spokesperson for Tesco told BuzzFeed News: "We are proud to offer a wide range of meals and products to meet the needs of our customers during Ramadan. We recognise these Pringles weren't in the most suitable place and our store colleagues have now moved them."

The smokey-bacon-flavoured Pringles are suitable for both vegans and vegetarians – they have bacon-flavoured seasoning to achieve the taste.
