Is Ben & Jerry's still sold in Israel?
In response to the 2021 announcement, Israeli officials said there would be “severe consequences” for Ben & Jerry’s owner Unilever, Reuters reported. The CEO of Ben & Jerry’s Israel told Reuters that the action by Unilever came after he wasn't willing to stop selling to Israeli citizens living in settlements in the occupied territories.
Ben & Jerry’s has a manufacturing facility and two scoop shops located south of Tel Aviv, just outside the occupied territories. The Israel production facility is one of four that Ben & Jerry’s has in the world. The company also operates two production locations in its home state of Vermont and one in the Netherlands.
