Clear threshold limits. Greater security for manufacturers.

Manufacturers producing food for people with allergies and intolerances need clear and reliable standards.

The Allergy Seal of Quality Standard provides an important foundation by defining specific threshold ingredient limits for relevant allergens. These are based on the expertise of our scientific and medical expert committees, as well as analytical data.

What does this mean for manufacturers?

• Clear and transparent guidelines for production
• Greater security in quality and allergen management
• Independent certification based on transparent criteria
• Reliable product labelling that provides guidance for those affected

People with allergies and intolerances rely on trustworthy information when choosing products. The Allergy Seal of Quality makes certified products instantly recognisable. At the same time, manufacturers can demonstrate their commitment to product safety, transparency and responsibility.

Do you develop special products and would you like to position your product range specifically for people with allergies and intolerances?

A personal insight

Andrea Cavegn, Sales Manager at Service Allergie Suisse.

As Sales Manager, I am responsible for customer care and acquiring new clients. I support manufacturers, retailers and suppliers in using the Allergy Seal of Quality to their advantage, thereby creating genuine added value for consumers and businesses.

How do I balance the dynamic pace of my day-to-day sales work? Through yoga

Yoga has taught me patience, mindfulness and the ability to embrace new situations. It requires concentration, flexibility and sometimes, a little perseverance before a pose is truly mastered. These are precisely the qualities that are equally important in my work at Service Allergie Suisse, whether nurturing relationships with existing clients or building new ones.

After all, successful relationships are not built through pressure, but through listening, understanding and finding the right balance between a company’s needs and the requirements of the Allergy Seal of Quality Standard.

Because sensitive baby skin deserves special protection

Parents want products they can trust, especially when it comes to their children’s health and wellbeing.

Nappies and skincare products carrying the Allergy Seal of Quality are particularly well-suited to babies and young children with sensitive or allergy-prone skin. These products are assessed against strict criteria and contain no perfume, fragrances, or any of the 81 known allergy-triggering substances.

The Allergy Seal of Quality also confirms the claims displayed on the packaging, giving parents added reassurance when choosing products for their little ones. A trusted guide for everyday family life.

Unfamiliar beds don’t have to be a nightmare

The autumn holidays are the perfect time to explore new places and unwind. However, staying away from home can be challenging for people with a house dust mite allergy.

Dust mite-proof sleeping bags, travel fitted sheets, and pillow and duvet covers carrying the Allergy Seal of Quality help avoid contact with house dust mite allergens. They can be used alongside or instead of hotel bedding, providing added protection and comfort while travelling.

So you can enjoy restful nights and relaxing holidays wherever you go.

A personal insight

Beatrice Zobrist, Office Coordinator at Service Allergie Suisse

At work, I assess risks. In my spare time, I sometimes take them!

OK, so the risk assessment I do when I’m mountain biking might be a bit different to the one I do at Service Allergie Suisse. However, my hobby and my work actually have quite a few things in common.

When I’m biking, I need to keep an eye on the trail, assess situations and make decisions – and sometimes it takes courage to take the next step (or jump).

Of course, at Service Allergie Suisse it's not about getting as much air as possible. In fact, quite the opposite is true: the Allergy Seal of Quality is based on clear requirements, independent assessments, and a thorough certification process. Nevertheless, it’s important to keep moving forward here, too. New products. New requirements. New ideas. There are also new ways to provide greater guidance and safety for people with allergies and intolerances.

Perhaps that’s precisely what drives me, both professionally and personally.

Don't stand still. Choose your path carefully. When the time is right, take the leap.

Progress rarely happens by standing still.

Look after your skin

If you have sensitive skin, cosmetics bearing the Allergy Seal of Quality are an excellent choice. These products do not contain any of the 81 allergenic compounds, making them particularly suitable for sensitive skin. This enables you to care for your skin gently and effectively.

Voluntary marketing claims or independently tested?

The difference matters. Terms such as ‘low in allergens’, ‘hypoallergenic’ or ‘for sensitive skin’ can be found on many products. Such claims can provide helpful guidance – but they are not automatically based on independent testing or certification. The Allergy Seal of Quality from Service Allergie Suisse goes one step further. It is only awarded once clearly defined requirements have been met and verified as part of an independent certification process.

For manufacturers and suppliers, this means:

• credible and independent confirmation of their claims·
• greater transparency for retailers, professionals and consumers·
• a reliable basis for communicating allergy-related product characteristics.

Tip: Communicating with verified claims ensures maximum transparency and builds trust.
