BOSTON (Reuters) – Florida’s top pension investment officer said on Tuesday he expects the state will restrict purchases of Unilever (NYSE:) PLC in October after the company’s Ben & Jerry’s brand halted sales in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

Ash Williams, chief investment officer of the Florida State Board of Administration, which oversees pension assets, said at a webcast state hearing that “we’ve not seen any meaningful response from Unilever” after discussions with the company.
