Norway is experiencing its second egg shortage of the year, with local production levels not meeting demand. The supply issues, first noticed before Easter and peaking in May, are managed by the Nortura cooperative. In response to the shortage, retailers are considering importing eggs from Denmark due to Norway's stringent sanitary and customs regulations, which limit food imports, including a complete ban on potatoes. Although importing eggs is an option, the country's protection against salmonella requires strict standards for foreign suppliers, leading to the recognition of eggs from other Scandinavian farms as safe to help alleviate the supply issues.
