Iglo is a legendary frozen food brand that has become a staple in European households, particularly famous for its 'Kapitein Iglo' (Captain Birdseye) mascot. Originally established to bring high-quality frozen vegetables and fish to the mass market, the brand has deep roots in the United Kingdom and Germany. The product shown, 'Lekkerbekjes in Bierbeslag', represents a classic Dutch style of battered fish, reflecting Iglo's strategy of tailoring products to local culinary tastes.

Manufacturing for Iglo occurs across several specialized facilities in Europe, including major sites in Germany (Bremerhaven) and the United Kingdom. Ownership of the brand has transitioned through major global conglomerates over the decades. Originally a Unilever brand, it was sold to Permira and eventually acquired by Nomad Foods. Today, Nomad Foods is the leading frozen food company in Europe, managing a portfolio that includes Birdseye and Findus, ensuring the brand remains at the forefront of the frozen food industry through 2026 and beyond.
