SEVERE PEANUT ALLERGY

Please tell the chef. Avoid peanuts, peanut oil, and cross-contamination.

"I watched someone have a serious allergic reaction at a street food stall in Bangkok. The vendor didn't understand what was being asked. The allergen was already in the sauce."

The problem wasn't language. It was weight. A general translation doesn't communicate urgency. AllergyPass does.  Learn more about the project →

Why not just use Google Translate?

Because "allergy" in Google Translate
doesn't tell a kitchen this is urgent.

Common questions

Before you build your first pass.

What is a travel allergy card?

A travel allergy card — sometimes called an allergy translation card or chef card — is a written card stating your food allergies in the local language of the country you're visiting. Instead of explaining a medical condition in a foreign language, you hand the card to restaurant staff, who can pass it straight to the kitchen. AllergyPass builds food allergy cards in 60+ languages, with severity levels and cross-contamination warnings. The English card is free and arrives as an image you can show offline; a $7.99 one-time One Language pass unlocks one translated destination language and adds a printable PDF.

How accurate are the translations?

Cards are not translated by AI or a machine-translation service when you build them. They use fixed wording from AllergyPass's versioned translation database. Native speakers completed reviews of Arabic, French, German, Hindi, Punjabi, Russian, Spanish, Thai, and Vietnamese in July 2026, providing natural local phrasing rather than literal word-for-word translations. Reviewers are being sought for the remaining languages. That review covered the card wording in use at the time; the kitchen cross-contact note, the dietary-requirement heading and food names added since then were added separately and have not yet had native-speaker review.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up and no credit card — pick your allergens, choose a language, and your card builds instantly in your browser. Nothing leaves your device while you build. Enter an email only when you want the finished card sent to you, which is how we deliver it.

Is it safe to rely on for a serious allergy?

AllergyPass was built specifically for high-stakes situations. Cards are severity-coded (life-threatening, severe, intolerance), can include an optional cross-contamination warning, and are phrased specifically for kitchen contexts. That said, no communication tool eliminates risk entirely. Always confirm with staff and carry your medication.

Food allergy guides

Read before you arrive. Order with confidence.

Traveling with food allergies means knowing where your allergens hide in each cuisine, how local emergency services work, and what to do in a medical emergency in a foreign country. Our destination guides cover all three.


What AllergyPass can and cannot do

AllergyPass helps communicate food allergies across language barriers. It does not guarantee allergen-free food and cannot verify how food is prepared. Always confirm your requirements directly with staff before ordering. For severe or anaphylactic allergies, carry emergency medication, know how to reach emergency healthcare at your destination, and look into travel insurance for food allergies before you go.
