The Warehouse has dropped Australian chef Pete Evans’ cookbooks after he shared neo-Nazi symbols on his social media accounts.
New Zealand’s top retailer responded to multiple people on social media who questioned whether it would set aside the chef’s books.
It responded by saying that it was “currently in the process of picking up stock in our stores and online.”
Evans posted the cartoon on his Facebook and Instagram accounts over the weekend, featuring a caterpillar wearing a MAGA hat and a butterfly with the Black Sun symbol, also known as the sonnenrad or solar wheel.
The Christchurch terrorist used that same symbol on his backpack and manifesto.
The Warehouse is the latest outlet to drop the Australian chef’s books on memes, following in the footsteps of publisher Pan Macmillan Australia, which said yesterday that it would end its contractual relationship with the chef.
The Guardian reported that Evans has been fired from Channel Ten’s reality show I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
In a statement, major Australian supermarket chain Woolworths Group said it has removed the chef’s titles from its Big W range this week.
Coles said on Twitter that he was working to remove the chef’s products from his range.
Evans has recently made other headlines for his posts on conspiracy theories, claiming, among many other things, that Covid-19, the dangerous pandemic that has killed hundreds of thousands of people around the world, is a hoax. .
