Children who eat crisps with packets bearing the faces of vampires and skeletons have been told they are being "nourished by demons".

The Cheetos crisps brand has been attacked by a Catholic website for glamorising the occult.

Writing for the right-wing religious website Fronda.pl, an anonymous author wrote post a warning against the snack, saying: "Parents be aware of Demonic crisps.

"Demons, skeletons and vampires - these are the new variants of Cheetos snacks. All under the guise of innocent family fun.

"Is this not dabbling in the dangerous world of demons?"

A spokesman for the publication said: "We view these crisps as dangerous as by eating them children will be nourished by demons."

But the crisp band has hit back, suggesting a fuss has been made of nothing.

A spokesman for Cheetos said: "The Cheetos Monsters range in Poland was inspired by all-things spooky but fun and we’re surprised to hear that other links have been suggested."

Polish priest Father Slawomir Kostrzewa last year caused controversy by saying the toy Lego represented a 'world of death' and that their Zombie and Monster Fighter mini-figures could lead children 'to the dark side’.

In 2013, another Polish priest, Father Pawel Popielnicki, slammed Hello Kitty and My Little Pony for being creations of the devil.
