Magnum Ice Cream has determined that the chair of Ben & Jerry's independent board, Anuradha Mittal, is no longer fit to serve following internal investigations, according to a recent securities filing. The dispute comes as Unilever prepares to spin off Magnum, with tensions mounting over Ben & Jerry's board's advocacy on controversial issues, including the war in Gaza. Ben & Jerry's co-founder Ben Cohen criticized Magnum's move as an attempt to undermine the board's independence, warning it could harm the brand's value. The future of Mittal's position remains uncertain due to the board's unique governance structure, and further legal action may follow as the companies navigate the upcoming spin-off.
