Description
JERSEY CITY, NJ — A Manhattan grocer with a location in Jersey City is limiting its sale of Ben & Jerry's ice cream following the ice cream maker's decision to stop selling their products in "the Occupied Palestinian Territory" earlier this week.
Morton Williams, a grocer with stores throughout Manhattan and one location in Jersey City, is one of the largest markets to limit its sale and marketing of Ben & Jerry's, according to the New York Post.
Morton Williams' location in Jersey City is at 105 River Drive.
Glatt Express, a kosher supermarket in Teaneck, will also no longer carry Ben & Jerry's products
Ben & Jerry's announced in a news release on Monday that they would no longer sell their products in these areas, which includes the occupied West Bank and contested east Jerusalem, according to the Associated Press.
In addition to the company's decision to stop selling products in occupied territories, Ben & Jerry's will end a license agreement with an Israeli manufacturer and distributor at the end of 2022. The company does plan to stay in Israel "through a different arrangement," officials said.
