Unilever tops with growth in ice cream

Unilever has delivered its half year results, which showed strong performances. Ice cream delivered strong growth driven by margin-accretive innovations behind its premium brands, such as Ben & Jerry’s pint range ‘Topped’, that takes ice cream indulgence to a new level, and the ‘Wich sandwich, the company reports.

Magnum grew at double-digit rates, helped by the new Magnum pints that deliver the ultimate chocolate and ice cream experience in a tub, as well as the coconut and raspberry variants. Unilever also extended its less than 50 calories offering under Solero and launched vegan and gluten-free variants under Cornetto.
