Sweden has fortified low-fat milk with a small amount of vitamin D since 1983

Yahoo Answers Feb 2014

• Info in Swedish can be found here

• applies to low-fat milk only - milk containing fat below 1,5% has to be enriched with Vitamin D. Vitamin D content must be between 3,8-5 micrograms/litre.

4 micrograms/litre= 160 IU/liter

Many organizations now recommend 4,0000 IU of vitamin D3 per day for adults

which would requre 25 liters of low-fat milk

And, we hope that Sweden fortififies with D3, not D2
