Iceland has partnered with online retail giant JD.com to offer frozen food items to customers in China.

As a result of the partnership with China’s largest online retailer customers will have access to Iceland’s award winning products such as pizzas, snacks, ready meals, ice cream and desserts.

“We are now starting to see some real growth for the Iceland brand in China, and I have no doubt our new relationship with the esteemed JD.com will help us gain further recognition for the famous Iceland name across the country,” Iceland head of international Alistair Cooke said.
