The allergy labelling is global with Nordic roots. It has stood the test of time for more than 40 years. Today, the label is recognised by 70 percent of the Danish population and almost 60 percent of consumers in the Nordic region.

The brand is well known and for that reason our product can be the first choice for our customer.

Based on our customer and business evaluations we experience that brand recognition is particularly high among:

  • The ever-growing group of conscious consumers.
  • Those who want to prevent skin allergies for themselves and their loved ones.
  • Those who have already been diagnosed with a skin allergy and therefore want to avoid certain substances.
  • Healthcare and other professionals

Asthma Allergy Nordic and The Blue Label enjoy great loyalty among consumers who indicate that the allergy label increase the probability of buying a product by 80 percent.  

The steadily increasing interest in allergy-friendly products also motivates more manufacturers to label their products, and 71 percent of our business partners say that the label directly increases the sales of their product.
