You know how everybody is obsessed with Ikea's meatballs? Well, the same can't be said for their jerk chicken. The retailer is apologizing and nixing the addition from menus after receiving major backlash for using the wrong ingredients.

According to PEOPLE, the Caribbean dish was introduced in U.K. cafes earlier this month, but customers wasted no time vocalizing their disdain by ways of Twitter. The main issue? Jerk chicken is traditionally served with rice and beans. Ikea's version had neither—rather, it came with green peas.

"It's literally white rice and garden peas @IKEA did you even Google it?!" one user wrote on Twitter. "If you were confused, beans are called peas in the Caribbean. This is what happens when you try and cash in on a culture with no input from that culture whatsoever."

Critics are calling the flub a case of cultural appropriation. "Yet another example of a brand with no diversity around the table," another added.

However, others are coming to Ikea's defense, claiming, "if you’re ordering jerk chicken from Ikea YOU’RE the problem."

Following the public reaction, Ikea issued an apology. Country food manager Lorena Lourido said:

IKEA is a Swedish home furnishing company with a much-loved food offer. We take inspiration from many countries around the world and have always worked to combine different flavors and ingredients to offer delicious, healthy and affordable dishes. We’re aware that our new jerk chicken, served with rice and peas has created some conversation and in some cases offense. Our intention was to create a dish for many people to enjoy but we appreciate that we may have got it wrong. We apologize and we are now relooking at the dish.
