Is Magnum owned by Unilever?
No. Magnum is owned by The Magnum Ice Cream Company (since 2025), not by Unilever. Unilever did own Magnum from 1989 until 2025.[1]
Why people ask: Magnum was Unilever's best-known ice cream until the 2025 demerger, and older articles still describe it as a Unilever brand.
