Farmers' association Coldiretti on Thursday denounced the global proliferation of food and drink labels and restaurant chains recalling Sicily's Cosa Nostra mafia at the expense of authentic Made in Italy products.
The 'Mafia' brand is "used widely in international food services to attract business," Coldiretti said, citing Spain's 'La Mafia' restaurant chain where eateries are decorated with murals depicting famous mobsters and the 'Cosa Nostra' pizzerias found in countries all over the globe. The association also flagged up Mafiozzo coffee from Bulgaria, Chilli Mafia snacks from Britain, The Godfather wine from Napa Valley in California, and spicy red Wicked Cosa Nostra sauce from Missouri, among other Mafia-branded products.
