PROSPECTS
In autumn 2013, the official Nordic recommendation for the intake of vitamin D was increased from 7.5 to 10 micrograms. At the same time, a number of surveys show that a large portion of the Danish population have a significantly lower intake than this, and these two factors taken together may open the road to more fortification with vitamin D in milk in Denmark over the forecast period. Milk fortified with vitamin D, which in 2013 remained a negligible category, is likely to see increasing popularity among consumers and become a growing niche, although Danes’ innate scepticism and strong preference for natural products make it likely that it will take significant marketing efforts to turn it into a mainstream product. An alternative scenario, which is not unlikely, is that the Danish health authorities will opt for obligatory vitamin D-fortification, a strategy which is supported by the Danish Consumer Council as it would prevent manufacturers from marketing fortified milk as a more expensive premium health and wellness product.
