Vegan Magnums
Australian farmers branded the vegan Magnum 'a problem for the dairy industry' - arguing that it was 'incorrectly marketed as a dairy product'.
"This is becoming an increasing problem for the dairy industry, with plant-based alternatives incorrectly being marketed as milk or other products associated with dairy," a spokesperson for Australian Dairy Farmers said.
"[Magnum] made a commercial decision to introduce a vegan addition to their Magnum product line to satisfy a very vocal community … it is misleading to call this product an ice-cream."
But according to a Unilever spokesperson, the Magnum has never been marketed as ice-cream - but as an 'iced confection'.
