I will be travelling to Germany with my 2.5-year-old child, who has a severe egg allergy. I have a hotel setup with a kitchen so that we will be able to better limit the possibility of consuming egg protein.

I understand the basic labelling laws in Europe, but I know that it is not required to write if a product "may contain" eggs. Are there any particular brands out there that have very clear allergy labelling policies? It is always easier to purchase a product if you know that they absolutely will write if it "may contain" eggs.

Also, I would love to hear any general comments about dealing with food allergies in Germany. We typically avoid restaurants as we tend to feel that it is our responsibility (not necessarily that of a restaurant's staff) to ensure he does not eat eggs, but I would prefer to eat out a couple of times as I do love Germany cooking.
