Sharply rising food prices are now prompting Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre to act and summon six food companies.

We cannot sit and watch prices rise so much. We want clear answers, says the Prime Minister to the newspaper Verdens Gang.

Among the actors who will now meet the Prime Minister are Coop and Orkla. The meeting is scheduled to take place next week.
