Ben & Jerry's
Ben & Jerry's is a Vermont-founded premium ice cream brand acquired by Unilever in 2000. Formulations use cream, skim milk, cane sugar, egg yolks, and named flavor add-ins (cookie dough chunks, fudge, cherries, nuts). Most variants stay in NOVA 3 rather than 4 because the ingredient lists remain recognisable. The added-sugar and saturated-fat loads still earn significant FoodScore penalties (typically 45-60 range). Our pages compare each Ben & Jerry's flavor to Haagen-Dazs, Halo Top, and Talenti at the same slot and note which flavors push into NOVA 4 territory.
