This &#8220;<strong>1% prevalence<\/strong>&#8221; gives a clear sense of scale for families and programme planners. When planning a <a href=\"https:\/\/youngexplorersclub.ch\/family-trip-in-switzerland\/\"><strong>family trip in Switzerland<\/strong><\/a>, keep these numbers in mind.<\/p>\n<p>We also highlight that many cases are <strong>undiagnosed<\/strong>.

For that, consult the <strong>Swiss Federal Statistical Office<\/strong> or speak with <strong>local paediatric clinics<\/strong> to account for <strong>regional variations<\/strong> and <strong>undiagnosed cases<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/youngexplorersclub.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_2679-Copy.jpg\" alt=\"Summer camp Switzerland, International summer camp\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<h2>What &#8220;gluten-free&#8221; means in Switzerland and why small amounts matter<\/h2>\n<p>We, at the <strong>Young Explorers Club<\/strong>, follow the established threshold: a product labelled <strong>gluten-free<\/strong> must contain less than <strong>&lt;20 mg\/kg (20 ppm)<\/strong> of gluten (<strong>Codex Alimentarius<\/strong>). <strong>Switzerland<\/strong> aligns its food-labelling practice with international\/Codex and European rules, so packaged products marked <strong>gluten-free<\/strong> in Swiss supermarkets generally meet that <strong>&lt;20 ppm<\/strong> threshold (<strong>FSVO<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Swiss law<\/strong> requires clear food information on packaged goods. We check the <strong>ingredient declaration<\/strong> and expect <strong>wheat, rye, barley and oats<\/strong> \u2014 and any <strong>cross-contamination<\/strong> risks \u2014 to be declared on labels (<strong>FSVO<\/strong>). That ingredient list gives the first line of defence for families managing <strong>celiac disease<\/strong> or strong <strong>gluten sensitivity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Restaurants<\/strong> and other food services aren\u2019t held to the same packaged-food labelling rules. That means <strong>staff training<\/strong> and <strong>kitchen procedures<\/strong> determine cross-contamination risk more than a printed label does (<strong>FSVO<\/strong>). We advise asking about <strong>separate prep areas<\/strong>, <strong>dedicated fryers<\/strong>, and whether <strong>sauces or thickeners<\/strong> contain wheat.
