Published: 12/16/2025

Ben & Jerry's controversy escalates as three board members are ousted due to governance changes by The Magnum Ice Cream Company, the current owner. Co-founder Ben Cohen criticizes the move as a "blatant power grab," accusing management of stripping the board's legal authority and independence. The Vermont-based ice cream maker, known for its social activism, has faced increasing tensions with owners like Unilever and Magnum over maintaining its mission and autonomy.
