Food firms slammed for mislabelled bread products in Norway: ‘This is a clear breach of trust’

A report conducted last year by the Norwegian Food Safety Authority has found that 85% of bread products in Norway displayed errors or defects in their labelling.

According to the 2018 study (available here​ in Norwegian), 209 bread products were examined. These include baked and half-baked bread, baguettes, crispbreads, and hamburger buns.
