General Mills weighs Häagen-Dazs separation outside North America

General Mills is weighing whether to separate its Häagen-Dazs business outside North America, a move that could lead to a sale, though discussions are at an early stage and the company may ultimately keep the business. General Mills owns and operates the brand in those markets, while Froneri runs Häagen-Dazs in the United States, potentially making it a logical buyer. Froneri is jointly owned by Nestlé and private-equity firm PAI Partners. General Mills declined to comment on the reported deliberations.
