Unilever SA ice creams – Safe
Unilever’s first priority is to protect its consumers. Our products are manufactured strictly in accordance with the local laws and regulations in all countries that we operate in. Each and every Unilever formulation undergoes rigorous safety clearance procedures by our global Safety & Environmental Assurance Centre (SEAC). The safety testing procedures and processes strictly comply with international requirements.
As one of the founder members of the Food Safety Initiative, we are keeping a close contact with them and the Department of Health regarding this issue.
