An acute butter shortage in Norway has emptied store shelves and propelled prices through the roof.
The shortfall – expected to last into January – has been blamed on a rainy summer that cut into feed production and therefore dairy output, but also the ballooning popularity of a low-carbohydrate, fat-rich diet that has sent demand for butter soaring.
Online sellers have offered 500-gramme packs for up to 350 euros ($465).
