MS Undanrenna is a skimmed milk product (0.1% fat) produced by MS Iceland Dairies (Mjólkursamsalan), the largest dairy company in Iceland. The name 'Undanrenna' is the traditional Icelandic term for skimmed milk, referring to the historical process of letting milk sit until the cream rose to the top and allowing the fat-free milk to 'run out' (renna undan) from the bottom.

The packaging prominently features 'Fernuflug,' which is an educational and cultural initiative by MS Iceland Dairies launched in 1994. This program promotes the Icelandic language by publishing short stories, poems, and creative texts written by Icelandic schoolchildren on milk cartons, effectively turning everyday packaging into a platform for literature and national heritage.

MS Iceland Dairies operates as a cooperative owned by approximately 500 to 600 family-run dairy farms across the country. It holds a dominant position in the Icelandic dairy market and is headquartered in Reykjavik. The company manages various iconic Icelandic brands including Ísey Skyr and Smjör butter, and it is the primary entity responsible for milk collection and processing throughout Iceland.
