In February, it was known that animal feed produced at Felleskjøpet’s factory in Trondheim contained 100 gongs for soft vitamin D. – What happened has had consequences for animal health, for our producers, for the goods recipients, the grocery chains and people’s confidence in the Norwegian food system, began the board leader in the joint purchase Jens Lippestad. – We are very sorry for that and I want to apologize to everyone who is affected. Now the incident has been investigated and on Wednesday the Felleskjøpet presents the investigation report. It is DNV that has conducted the investigation. High level vitamin D Since the level of vitamin D in the feed was too high, it could also lead to too high levels in the egg. For high intake of the vitamin can be harmful and the poison information marked a large demand for anxious consumers. Vitamin D poisoning can cause diffuse symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, breaking and thirsty. “We take the case very seriously, have seen a lot of resources and prioritize this high,” said senior adviser Elisabeth Schei-Berg of the Food Safety Authority when the case became known. Over 60,000 chickens who had received the feed were killed. Also 300 pigs were sent to naud slaughter. “This is an event that has had serious consequences for the animal welfare, unfortunately,” Schei-Berg said. 60,000 chickens were killed after they got the feed with too much vitamin D.

At the same factory, a fault dosage of the substance of the harness in the feed occurred in 2023. Even then, animal feed was called back from the market. At that time, there was a technical failure that was the cause of error production. “We are so far reasonable that there are other reasons that are used this time,” said the Executive Vice President of Felleskjøpet, Bjørn Stabbetorp, in February.
