On Monday, the Florida State Board of Administration (SBA) notified Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) that Unilever, the parent company of “woke” ice cream chain Ben & Jerry’s, had been added to Florida’s List of Scrutinized Companies that Boycott Israel, which could result in investment prohibition for the company statewide.
Ash Williams, executive director and chief investment officer of the Florida SBA notified DeSantis of the identification. This comes as a result of Ben & Jerry’s announcement on July 19 that it would discontinue business within “Occupied Palestinian Territory” in Israel. Affected areas include Judea and Samaria.
Ben & Jerry’s may not be available at Florida high school and college football games this season now that Gov. Ron DeSantis has escalated his fight with the ice cream maker over an Israeli-Palestinian dispute.
This week, the state placed Ben & Jerry’s parent company, Unilever, on Florida’s list of Scrutinized Companies that Boycott Israel.
Unilever now has 90 days to “cease and desist” what DeSantis is calling its boycott of Israel or face a Florida government snubbing of its more than 400 brands including Lipton Tea, Hellmann’s and Dove soap.
DeSantis had the State Board of Administration, which oversees the state s investments, investigate whether Unilever was in violation of an amendment to a 2007 law that prohibits state agencies from doing business with companies the SBA believes is at odds with U.S. foreign policy.
