Finland’s goal was to ensure every one of its citizens
consumed sufficient levels of vitamin D.
So, in 2003, the government introduced mandatory fortification of
milk and margarine spreads.
But analysis of the results indicated that this programme
did not go far enough.
In 2010, after consulting with scientists, the authorities increased
the level of fortification and recommended vitamin D supplementation
for children, adolescents and the elderly.
