Ben & Jerry's
Ben & Jerry’s is a super-premium ice cream maker founded in 1978, known for its unique approach to business, prioritizing joy and justice. It offers a wide range of flavors, from classic favorites like Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough to socially conscious options like Change the Whirled. The company has a rich history of social activism and community engagement, with a commitment to Fairtrade and ethical sourcing. Ben & Jerry’s operates globally, with a factory in Vermont offering tours. Despite being a subsidiary of Unilever, it maintains its independent mission and values. Recent developments include a legal dispute with Unilever regarding the company’s ability to pursue its social mission. Reviews consistently highlight the friendly staff, delicious ice cream, and welcoming atmosphere.
What healthy ice cream options does the shop offer?
We have, so far, not been able to confirm healthy ice cream options in this particular ice cream shop. While Ben & Jerry's has expanded into a non-dairy oat-based ice cream, it's important to note that all ice cream, including the oat-based varieties, contains significant amounts of sugar and fat. The company does prioritize Fairtrade sourcing and has initiatives like Tony’s Open Chain to promote ethical cocoa sourcing, which contributes to a more sustainable and responsible supply chain. However, the core product remains a high-calorie dessert.
What ice cream flavors can you taste in this shop?
Confirmed ice cream flavors include Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Phish Food, Karamel Sutra, Cherry Garcia, Change the Whirled, Justice ReMix’d, and a variety of Cores (with ingredients in the center) and Topped sundaes. The non-dairy oat ice cream flavors are also confirmed.
