The winner of a women's seven-kilometer race in Spain was offered a food processor as a prize, and the nation's secretary of state for equality took notice.

The Associated Press reported that organizers of the Carrera de la Mujer (translated as "Women’s Race") issued a Twitter statement Monday saying they didn't view the kitchen appliance prize — which a sponsor donated — as sexist.

“We apologize, but we consider this a product with no sexist character and ideal for any athlete who wants to improve their nutritional habits,” the statement said, according to the AP. “We regret if any woman felt offended.”

Organizers promised to “take measures” to avoid similar incidents in the future, the outlet added.

More from the AP:

Serb national Ivana Zagorac won the race in 24 minutes, 7 seconds on Sunday, in an amateur event in which 32,000 women participated. The Madrid race coincided with Spain’s Mother’s Day, and supports domestic violence and cancer survivors. It is held in other cities across Spain.

The food processor controversy went largely unnoticed until Ángela Rodríguez Pam, Spain’s secretary of state for equality, tweeted that the winner had received a food processor and others were given 0% fat products.

“If you win: housewife, and if not, at least you’ll lose weight,” Rodríguez Pam tweeted ironically, according to the outlet.

The AP added that the race previously had T-shirts with the slogan: “Today, the girls win!”
