Where is Maltese used for food safety?
Maltese is the primary language on the AllergyPass card for Malta (Maltese). Below is the destination-specific risk context AllergyPass builds into the card for each one.
🇲🇹 Malta (Maltese)
Maltese food blends Italian, North African, and British influences: pastizzi (flaky pastry filled with ricotta or peas), rabbit stew, lampuki fish pie, and plenty of seafood. Maltese is the national language; a card in Maltese reads as local, while English is equally official (see Malta (English)). Ask about ricotta in pastry and fish stock in stews.
| Allergen | Maltese term | Travel risk |
|---|---|---|
| Gluten | Glutina | High |
| Milk / Dairy | Ħalib / Prodotti tal-ħalib | High |
| Fish | Ħut | High |
