What is Ben & Jerrys response to Unilevers practice of testing products on animals?
Answer Thank you for contacting us with your concern about Unilever and animal testing. We make ice cream and fortunately, there are no regulations that require us to test our products on animals! Unilever owns three personal product businesses that are required by U.S. law to conduct animal testing on some of their ingredients in limited situations for safety reasons. We were encouraged to read Unilever’s commitment to “the elimination of animal testing” included in the attached statement they provided us. If you have further questions or would like to share your concern directly with Unilever, we urge you to contact the company directly: Consumer Services 920 Sylvan Avenue, 2nd Floor Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632 Website: http://www.unilever.com In researching this issue ourselves, we found a lot of valuable information at the FDA’s Center for Food Safety & Applied Nutrition’s website (http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov.)
