Food off the ship

[ijkh]

Does anyone know if food is allowed to be taken off ships in Iceland and or/Norway?  I am strictly gluten free celiac.  It will be a hardship to try and find gluten free food in small places.  Thanks.

Only if it is factory packaged. That is pretty standard around the world.

FYI - Laws in Norway require that allergen information (including gluten) be readily available for all served food. Gluten-free options may be limited, but it’s not completely uncommon.

How very civilized.   We are going on a two day overland trip to sparsely populated regions.  That is why I asked.  I am considering bringing some gluten free snacks.  I don't expect the world to cater to my medical condition. 🙂

Iceland is also Celiac friendly

I'd recommend to bring some gluten free snacks just in case, but don't be afraid to ask for gluten free options even though there seem to be none on the menu. This goes for both hotels and restaurants, quite often you will find that they have both gluten free options stashed away as well as relevant knowledge.
