Nor does data take into account products containing vitamin D with traces of palm oil. 2) Applies to drops 2.0 sold in Europe. A product in drop format for markets outside of Europe is being developed. 3) No target for the phasing out of drops was set in 2021. in more than 100 markets with varying laws, rules and interests in phasing out palm oil. There is also a risk that the company during the transition will be forced to discard a quantity of fully functional products due to complex regulations in certain markets. This would be an unwanted waste of resources that requires planning to avoid. As part of this work, BioGaia recruited one person in 2021 to work full time with the phase out of palm oil. The target for the year was exceeded, which suggests the additional resources are producing results. The plan is to maintain momentum in the phase and minimise the amount of products wasted. By the end of 2022, the objective in Europe is to achieve 71% of the phase-out process for tablets and 70% for drops. Healthy products CONTENTS
