Some of the U.K.'s favorite "ice lollies," or ice cream pops, are being shrink-wrapped in a new, £7-million plant addition at Richmond Ice Cream in the U.K. on a system that saves energy and is durable at 40 deg C. The Richmond Foods ice cream plant in Leeds, England, flowraps and cartons assorted Nestle brand ice cream "lollies," or what folks in the U.S. know as ice cream pops. In fact, Richmond now owns several of the Nestle brands, including Fab, Milky Bar, Rowntrees Fruit-Pastil and Mr. Men, as well as many private-label products marketed in U.K. supermarkets, which are produced at the Leeds plant. After they're flowrapped, the ice cream pops are cartoned and the cartons are counted and collated before they're snugly wrapped in clear film for distribution in seven different formats.
