Ben & Jerry's Goes Oat-Based for All Vegan Ice Cream Flavors

Ben & Jerry's is making a major change to its nearly 20 vegan ice cream flavors by switching to an oat-based formula. The company has been experimenting with different base ingredients since launching its non-dairy line in 2016, starting with almond milk and later introducing a sunflower butter base. The transition to oat milk aligns with increasing consumer demand for oat-based options and helps make the non-dairy line more accessible to those with lactose intolerance or nut allergies. Ben & Jerry's aims to maintain its indulgent eating experience while meeting sustainability goals and offering a creamy texture and rich flavors in its vegan ice creams.
