Unilever Plc is considering New York as a potential venue for a listing of its ice cream business, people with knowledge of the matter said, a move that might trigger a backlash in the unit’s home market of the Netherlands.
The company and its advisers are evaluating a range of options including a listing in the US, which is the biggest market for its ice cream brands like Ben & Jerry’s and Breyers, the people said. Amsterdam and London are also among venues being considered, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the information is private.
