General Mills is exiting its dough manufacturing business in Israel, leaving behind a controversial Pillsbury plant in the West Bank.
The global food company is selling its majority stake to joint-venture partner Bodan Holdings, an Israeli-owned business group.
General Mills operates a Pillsbury factory in the Atarot Industrial Park, the largest industrial park in the Jerusalem area and one of the Israeli settlements in the West Bank. While General Mills made its dough products there, it did not own the plant, a company spokeswoman said.
