"New York (CNN Business)Walmart's attempt to commemorate Juneteenth with a new ice cream didn't go over so well.
The company is apologizing for selling "Celebration Edition: Juneteenth Ice Cream," under its Great Value label. The branding sparked a backlash with many people on social media.
"Share and celebrate African-American culture, emancipation and enduring hope," the label on the red velvet-flavored ice cream read.
"Juneteenth holiday marks a celebration of freedom and independence," a Walmart spokesperson said in a statement. "However, we received feedback that a few items caused concern for some of our customers and we sincerely apologize. We are reviewing our assortment and will remove items as appropriate."
Other Juneteenth-themed items that appear to be on sale include party plates, according to a tweet.
One critic on Twitter said the ice cream highlighted why it's "important to have diverse voices at the table when making strategic business decisions. When you don't, you end up making costly, foolish mistakes," the tweet said."
