Magnum Ice Cream Company has announced the removal of Ben & Jerry's board chair, stating the individual no longer meets the criteria to serve, according to a regulatory filing. The decision comes amid ongoing tensions between Ben & Jerry's and its parent company, Unilever, which have intensified over the brand's political stances and recent legal disputes. The filing did not name the board chair or specify the criteria, and both Magnum and the chair declined to comment. This development occurs as Unilever prepares to spin off its ice cream division, which includes Magnum, Ben & Jerry's, Wall's, and Cornetto, with a listing scheduled in Amsterdam for December. The rift between Ben & Jerry's and Unilever has grown since 2021, following the brand's decision to halt sales in Judea and Samaria, leading to public controversy and further disputes over the company's positions on international issues.
