Norway
Different countries, different packaging: A look at supermarkets around the world shows how differently products are presented, protected and designed.
Not only do other countries have different specialities, they are often packaged differently to us. Sometimes it is not obvious at first glance what is inside the packaging. We took a look around the supermarkets in some countries and start this short series with a packaging check in Norway.
Fish pudding
Fish pudding (fløtepudding) is a typical Norwegian dish. Here it is packaged in a film tube to prevent cutting.
Brown cheese
Fløtemysost is a brown cheese with a sweet caramel flavour. Around 12,000 tonnes of brown cheese are produced in Norway every year and packaged as sliceable blocks in foil.
Pulses
Pulses are often available in Norwegian supermarkets in 380 gram composite cartons, less often in tins.
Yoghurt
The Q-Meieriene dairy fills its yoghurt in stand-up pouches with a shrink-wrapped spout.
Fabric softener
Neither milk nor juice: the composite carton with spout contains fabric softener
