The Australian kosher certification board KA delisted Ben & Jerry’s ice cream on Wednesday in protest of the company’s announcement on Monday that it would no longer distribute its products in the “Occupied Palestinian Territory,” the ice cream giant’s reference to Judea and Samaria.
In a statement, KA said that while its board has listed Ben & Jerry’s products as kosher for many years, “That ended this week with its deletion, in support of those who proudly reside in Yehuda v’Shomron (Judea and Samaria).”
The board noted that the product still remains certified kosher by the international organization Chof-K, but that KA chose to take the move as a “small stance on a global scale.”
