PERFECT FOR ...
... YOU!
foodsymbols needs the country – and foodsymbols needs you!
To make sense of the jungle of information, often in tiny print, on supermarket labels, you soon need more than a high school diploma. We won’t even mention a magnifying glass. Even unpackaged, so-called loose goods are difficult and costly to label. These often contain the primary triggers of allergies and intolerances.
In restaurants and eateries, cafeterias, canteens, or the chip shop on the corner – everywhere we deal with prepared foods daily. But the question is: What’s in those delicious dishes and can I tolerate the food?
Allergy sufferers, vegetarians, vegans, and the health-conscious often stand like a "deer in headlights" and settle for a salad or something "safe," leaving the variety of menus and offerings to others.
But why? You and each of us have the power, because foodsymbols make our daily madness of buying and consuming food easier.
Start today and end the guessing game! foodsymbols are and will remain free and can be downloaded by anyone in various formats. The explanation of foodsymbols is already available in 15 languages, and we are continuously expanding.
Actively ask, ask for foodsymbols where you’d like to have them and be part of the foodsymbol ambassadors, bringing foodsymbols to the world of tomorrow.
... CONSUMERS
foodsymbols are perfect for consumers because they can see at a glance what is in the product. Whether in the supermarket, restaurant, canteen – at home or abroad. On unpackaged, loose goods, vacuum-sealed, and packaged foods. foodsymbols work internationally and bring clarity "to the table"!
As a consumer, you can no longer see through all the madness on the packaging in stores. Especially as an allergy sufferer, or if you welcome an allergy sufferer as a guest, you spend hours searching through the fine print on labels, only to still not be 100% sure what is really contained.
The comprehensive range of foodsymbols is available free of charge to all manufacturers, the food industry, and trade. Through our website www.foodsymbols.com, anyone can download the required files, as detailed symbols or in the minimalist version, in various formats (.pdf, .eps, .ai, .png, or as a .ttf font). This allows labeling to be used in the appropriate places.
The website is currently available in 10 languages and new ones are added regularly.
The more who participate, the better! Therefore, you as a consumer are now asked. Keep your eyes open and ask actively in your environment. Whether regular restaurants or favorite manufacturers, ice cream parlors, or canteens – foodsymbols simply belong everywhere.
... MANUFACTURERS
Do you know your target group? Thought you did! No, we’re not saying you didn’t do your homework. But did you know that a large part of your target group has allergies or cooks for others who suffer from intolerances? Or they want, if not need, to steer their diet according to specific guidelines.
No matter how you bring your products to market. As loose goods or packaged, (partly) prepared products – with foodsymbols you perfectly label your offers for young and old.
Go for it! foodsymbols are not only simple and globally understandable, foodsymbols are also completely free and available for download in various file formats. As PDF, EPS, AI files, as well as PNG files and now newly as a font in black and color.
... GASTRONOMY
What's on the menu today? Working people, students, and pupils have most of their meals in the canteen, school kitchen, or cafeteria. Often dishes remain untouched, which could actually be consumed by the respective person without concern. But the stress at the food counter and insufficiently or poorly declared "menus" leave questions unanswered. Thus, abstaining is safer than risking spending the rest of the day in a quiet place or even in the hospital.
Don't forget the kids in kindergarten. Labeling is very important for the little ones. The educators work with parents and children very early on to understand the respective allergies and intolerances.
Restaurants, eateries, and snack bars, in other words, all food establishments, could make it easier for their guests to choose food and drink. Simply label menus and daily offers with foodsymbols.
- The number of vegetarians and vegans has exploded in the last ten years. What started as a trend has long since become a way of life, to which trade and the food industry have actively responded.
- Food intolerances already occur in young children and can be specifically treated. Information and labeling are not only important here but vital.
- Allergy sufferers know what and where they can eat without concern, and if they are unsure, they simply avoid it or ask.
