In 2001 group sales were €54.40bn (US$63.73bn), rather than €54.04bn as stated last week.
The company’s South American sales had been incorrectly stated as €917m instead of the correct value of €1.27bn.
The company also incorrectly stated its 2002 Europe sales as €3.42bn, when the correct value was €3.46bn.
“It wasn’t that the sales numbers we actually had were incorrect,” an Ahold spokeswoman told AP Online, “but mistakes were made in getting them into the press release.”
