Weetabix vs Weet-bix: UK cereal held by New Zealand customs

A consignment of UK breakfast cereal Weetabix has reportedly been impounded by New Zealand customs officials, after complaints it could confuse customers. Food giant Sanitarium, which owns rival brand Weet-bix, has objected to it being sold. The shop's owner has been told the cereal will only be released if a sticker is put over the Weetabix label.

The store currently sells some seven boxes of Weetabix a day.
