What is Allergy UK?Updated a day ago

Allergy UK is a British national charity that supports people living with allergy, intolerance and chemical sensitivity. Alongside its advice and support work it runs a product approval scheme. Products that carry the Allergy UK symbol have been independently tested and approved to help make life more comfortable for people living with allergy. The assessment is carried out by Allergy UK, not by the brand, and it is granted to a specific product rather than to a company or a whole range.

One. Universal Cleaner is the only Koh product that holds Allergy UK approval. No other product in the Koh UK range is Allergy UK approved, including Bathroom and Shower Cleaner, Kitchen Grease and Oil Cleaner, Dishwashing Liquid, Dishwashing Tabs, Loo Cleaner Tabs, Stain Remover, Sensitive Laundry Liquid and Sensitive Laundry Sheets. Approval under the scheme is granted to a specific product, so it does not carry across to anything else we sell. If a product has not been assessed, it is not approved, and we will not describe it as though it were.

The marks on Koh packaging are separate schemes run by separate bodies, and each one is granted product by product. Allergy UK is a British allergy charity and its approval relates to living with allergy. GECA is Good Environmental Choice Australia, an environmental ecolabel, and it is held by Universal Cleaner, Dishwashing Tabs and Loo Cleaner Tabs only. They are different claims, assessed against different criteria, and holding one says nothing about holding the other. A product can carry one mark, both, or neither.

Different bodies, different criteria, different claims. Holding one says nothing about holding the other, and a product can carry one, both or neither.
