“This move is part of a larger review to ensure our company and brands reflect our people values." Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream has been reviewing the business for some time, Reuters reported.

CNN has reached out to Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream for comment. Some context: Nestle sold the company and the rest of its US ice cream brands to Froneri, a joint venture with a private equity firm, in a $4 billion dollar deal in 2019.
