1. They only vary at altitude if high altitude impacts on your vision....and you can't read the label....ice cream was a staple family ecipe and has been since time began...Norway I understand is its known origin
2. That sounds ridiculous. I don't think nutrition facts can vary with high altitudes. Food historians believe ice cream was first created by the Persians. The Arabs were the first to add sugar to it.
3. I don't think it varies in high altitudes. I stayed in Peru at 8,500 feet. Had fresh veggies and fantastic fruits all the time. They are capable of having 2 or more harvests a year.
