Nestlé could make limited disposals, if required, to acquire Dreyer’s whose brands such as Dreamery and Godiva generate around US$1.5bn in annual sales, reports Reuters, citing industry sources.
Nestlé declined to comment, saying that a decision by US regulators was expected soon.
“It is an important element of the ice cream business in the United States and it is normal that the authorities take their time,” Nestlé spokesman Marcel Rubin told Reuters.
