(Reuters) - Italy are unhappy to hear that food unfit for consumption has been found and confiscated from their World Cup hotel in Brazil but say it will not be a problem for them.

Team doctor Enrico Castellecci told reporters that Italy were planning to take most of their food in any case and everything served to the players would be checked by their own staff.
