Ben & Jerry’s filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit Tuesday against its parent company Unilever to block an agreement that would restore the sale of its ice cream products in the West Bank.
The lawsuit, filed by Ahmad, Zavitsanos & Mensing and Cohen & Gresser, seeks an injunction preventing Unilever’s U.S. subsidiary Conopco Inc. from selling Ben & Jerry’s products in the West Bank through a third-party distributor in contravention of a 2021 decision by Ben & Jerry’s Independent Board of Directors.
