Add allergens

Food allergens and intolerances can be particularly important for children, as they may be more sensitive to certain substances. Here is a brief explanation of food allergens in children:

What are allergens?:

Allergens are proteins in food that can trigger an allergic reaction in the immune system. In children, food allergens can cause symptoms such as skin rashes, breathing difficulties, gastrointestinal problems, and even life-threatening anaphylaxis.

Common food allergens:

The most common food allergens include dairy products, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, fish, and seafood. These foods should be avoided by children with confirmed allergies.

What are intolerances?:

Food intolerances are reactions to certain foods or ingredients that do not affect the immune system. Instead, they are often due to digestive or metabolic problems. However, they can also cause unpleasant symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and bloating.

If your child has any intolerances, these can be selected on this page in the form of allergens.

When selecting food (../../food/weekplan), these will be taken into account and a warning will appear if you select a food with an existing intolerance.

It may be necessary to provide a certificate from the caterer regarding allergens and intolerances for the proper assessment and approval of a special diet. In this case, please submit the certificate to the school office. From there, it will be forwarded to the responsible departments in compliance with data protection regulations.
