Juho Hirvelä wrote that, in his opinion, the use of Bovaer continued in Denmark and many wanted to know the status of the substance in Finland. He referred to a news article published by Yle in February 2026, which stated that Valio had suspended the trial of the Bovaer feed additive. According to Hirvelä, Valio stated at that time that the reason for the suspension was the reassessment of the substance initiated by the European Food Safety Authority, EFSA. Hirvelä mentioned that he had asked Valio whether Bovaer was still under trial or if the company was planning to restart the trial. He also inquired whether Valio had considered replacing the substance with another feed additive and whether new information had been obtained from EFSA's investigation. Hirvelä said he would return to the matter once Valio responded. #Bovaer #Elintarviketurvallisuus #Tanska (translated)

Jens Mogensen wrote that the first reports of calves getting sick from Bovaer milk had begun to come in, and suggested that it was happening as expected. He warned that consumers during Christmas would see NOPA included in offers on butter and cream. Mogensen claimed that Denmark had again introduced mandatory, state-ordered animal abuse, and that the country was the first and only in the world to do so. #Dyrevelfærd #Kalve #Bovaer (translated)
