Asda has explained why a search for kosher food on its website prompted the response "antichrist".
A JC reader was shocked to discover the word given when he searched whether the supermarket stocked products made by the well-known kosher food company "Manischewitz".
The company said it was a glitch due to the website's use of pronunciation software. When a search term is not recognised the site brings up the closest "sounding" match – which is how "Manischewitz" became "antichrist".
