Nestlé is negotiating to sell its ice cream business to Froneri, with no immediate impact on its Canadian operations, including a major plant in London, Ontario, that employs 750 people. The ownership change may take 12 to 18 months, during which operations will continue as usual, according to Nestlé Canada. However, the union representing employees has expressed concerns about the long-term future of the plant amid the sale. Nestlé has committed to keeping employees informed throughout the process.
