We cannot guarantee any STREETS ice cream products to be peanut-free as some lines manufacture products containing peanuts or other nuts.

97 million PADDLE POP ices are produced and eaten each year worldwide.

One chocolate PADDLE POP ice confection will provide 12% of a child’s daily calcium requirement.

The gelatin in STREETS ice cream products is derived from beef and is Halal. The supplier of the gelatin is Halal accredited; however our factory is not.

The sticks are made from hooped pinewood. Hooped pine is a native Australian tree. The trees for our sticks are plantation trees. That is, they are trees which have been planted specifically for harvesting for stick making. Our suppliers do not use native (old) growth forest trees as this is against company policy. 

One of the reasons Unilever Australasia changed its packaging was a result of a request by the Federal Government under the new National Packaging Covenant that states that all industries should focus on environmentally friendlier packaging materials. Unilever Australasia produced around 7 million tubs per year of the old non-recyclable PET plastic and our mission was to achieve a tub that could be recycled.
