Uruguay squad's caramel spread confiscated in Brazil
Brazilian officials say they confiscated 39kg (86lb) of caramel spread from Uruguay's football team as it arrived in Brazil for the World Cup.
The spread, called dulce de leche, is extremely popular in Uruguay but the Brazilian authorities said that as it was made with milk, it needed sanitary documentation which was lacking.
Some fans are already blaming Uruguay's shock 3-1 defeat to Costa Rica on the lack of dulce de leche.
...
An official with the Brazilian agriculture department told Reuters news agency that the Uruguayans could have the dulce de leche back "as soon as they can produce the necessary documents".
