What IÖGO does

IÖGO is a Canadian yogurt and frozen-yogurt brand launched in 2012 and currently owned by Lactalis Canada (part of the French Lactalis Group; previously operated under the Ultima Foods banner), with manufacturing based in Canada including a Granby production site. The brand produces a wide range of stirred, fat-free, children's, premium-probiotic, and frozen yogurt products made with 100% Canadian milk, real fruit, and no artificial colours, flavours, or gelatin, and holds Kosher (COR) certification across the full range.

The core technology stack is rooted in conventional dairy fermentation and ingredient processing rather than software. Products use active bacterial cultures (Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus) for fermentation, the probiotic strain BB-12 Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis delivered at over 1 billion CFU per 175g serving in the Pûre line, and lactase enzyme treatment to produce lactose-free variants across most product lines. The nanö sub-brand introduces differentiated product architecture — anti-spill drinking bottles for children, freezer-friendly tubes, and 'Bulles' popping-bubble yogurt — while the Pûre line uses 2.8% Canadian whole milk as a premium formulation lever. The portfolio spans Creamy (1–1.5% milk fat), 0% (fat-free with 25% less sugar), nanö (children), Pûre (premium probiotic), and Frozen Yogurt (bars, tubs, and pops) in formats from 100g cups to 2kg pouches and 16/24-unit multi-packs.

Commercially, IÖGO operates as a traditional consumer packaged goods brand with a one-time-purchase retail revenue model (not subscription or licensing). Distribution is exclusively through retail grocery channels across all 13 Canadian provinces and territories, supported by an online 'Where to Buy' locator; frozen yogurt is co-distributed with Nestlé under the 'Fait avec Nestlé' banner. Go-to-market relies on broad retail availability plus consumer-direct engagement via Facebook, Instagram, an email newsletter, and a recipe content hub. Target segments include families and health-conscious consumers (primary), children and parents (via nanö), weight-management and wellness buyers (via 0%), and lactose-intolerant consumers (via lactose-free variants).
