The Dutch Anaphylaxis [anafylaxis] Network has "passes" with allergen warnings and instructions for administering Epipen/Emerade/Jext at (Google Translate) translate.google.nl/… | |
| Mar 16, 2019 at 10:47 | comment | added | averell | The link above also has the information about vegatables - which says you need a phytosanitary certificate to import those. In a nutshell it'll be possible to import fresh food, somehow, but it'll be a major hassle and involve lots or paperwork - or else you risk the food being confiscated. You can try dehydrated meals, and you'll probably be fine, but it's a gamble. Why do you feel that you cannot get food in the Netherlands? Raw ingredients are available, and allergens must be labeled in the EU (or the information available on request). | |
