Pringles are not crisps, rules UK court in VAT case

Proctor & Gamble, the maker of popular snack Pringles, is set to save millions of euros after the UK High Court rules the product is not a crisp.
Revealing the intricacies of VAT rules in relation to modern foodstuffs, the court said that Pringles could be sold tax-free because they do not have enough potato in their formulation.With only 42 per cent of potato content the snack is neither wholly or exclusively made from potato, and is also made from dough, making them more like a cake or biscuit.
