ProFood Israel, the manufacturer of Nestle ice cream products in Israel, has announced a price increase for several of its ice cream lines, effective December 1. The hikes will range from 1.4% to 6.8% and will affect retailers. This follows similar price increases implemented in December of 2024 and 2025, with prices also rising in May 2024. The company attributes the increases to ongoing rises in raw material costs, shipping expenses, and production expenses. ProFood Israel stated that this is a "proportionate price list update for retailers of some of our products, at an average rate of 2.8%, which only partially compensates for the price increases."
The most significant price jump will be for the "Extreme" brand, with Extreme ice cream tubs increasing by 6.8%. Other notable increases include the Oreo Milka pint at 6.3%, the Oreo sandwich at 6%, and the coated cones at 5.6%. The popular Crunch bar series will see a 3.8% increase, while the La Creameria family-sized ice cream line will rise by 4.9%. Smaller increases are slated for Milka bars (1.3%), Gumigum tubs (2.3%), and mini Crunch tubs (3%).
These upcoming price adjustments come as ice cream prices have already seen substantial growth in recent years. Individual ice cream bars are often sold for over 10 shekels, with convenience stores and ice cream shops charging between 11 and 18 shekels. Family-sized tubs can cost 30 shekels or more without promotions, and even multi-packs of mini ice creams can reach up to 37 shekels. The company notes that the average increase of 2.8% only partially covers the rising costs.
