The Irresistible Rise of the Blubb
Do you remember the advertising slogan “with the Blubb”? This little trick turned the often disliked spinach into Germany’s most popular frozen vegetable. Iglo understood early on how to specifically target families and children, making even seemingly unpopular foods appealing. Sebastian Lege analyzes in detail what is really in this creamed spinach and whether cream alone is enough for this success. He also examines whether Iglo products stand out in taste from the competition and what truly makes them special.
Sustainability or Just Clever Marketing?
The story of Iglo is not only marked by success but also by challenges. In the 1990s, intensive cod fishing almost led to the depletion of stocks. Iglo, as a major buyer, played a role in this. The transition to Alaska pollock marked a new chapter, strongly focused on sustainability. Iglo was significantly involved in the founding of the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), whose seal is supposed to stand for environmentally friendly fishing.
But how sustainable is the MSC seal really? The “Besseresser” experts Lilly Temme and Florian Reza take a close look at this promise. They critically question what the MSC seal means in practice and whether it truly meets the high standards of sustainable fishing. Some eyes will be opened here!
