7 June – World Food Safety Day

World Food Safety Day highlights the importance of food safety. This is particularly important for people with allergies and intolerances, as even small amounts of certain allergens can trigger harmful reactions.

This is why clear guidance and reliable information are essential. Products with the Allergy Seal of Quality are assessed according to strict criteria and independently certified. The Allergy Seal of Quality helps consumers identify suitable products more quickly, providing greater confidence when shopping.

The Allergy Seal of Quality therefore stands for transparency, safety and reliable guidance in everyday life, enabling people with allergies and intolerances to enjoy food with confidence and peace of mind.

Sun protection for sensitive skin

Sunny days are good for you – but only if your skin has the right protection. If you have sensitive skin, finding a well-tolerated sun cream can often be a challenge. Products with the Allergy Seal of Quality do not contain any of the 81 potentially allergenic compounds and are therefore particularly well suited to sensitive skin. This means you can look after your skin properly, even in the sun.

Grass pollen is in the air – the peak season for pollen allergy starts

Grass pollen is the most common trigger for pollen allergy (hay fever). One in five people in Switzerland suffers from a pollen allergy, and 70% of them react to grass pollen. Products with the Allergy Quality Seal, such as pollen screens or air filters, help to reduce pollen concentrations indoors. You can find certified products here.

The grass pollen season lasts until the end of summer and peaks between mid-May and June.
