In a recent paper [5], it was shown that the tensor product of a finite number of fields over a common subfield satisfies the property that each localization at a prime ideal is a primary ring (in the sense that a zero-divisor is in fact a nilpotent element).

In the first section of this paper, we exploit the properties of associated primes and of flat extensions so as to generalize the above result to zero-dimensional algebras; a simple example shows that this is the best one can hope for. The converse situation is also investigated.
