What is a food allergy card for travel?
A food allergy card for travel is a bilingual card that lists your allergens in English next to the local-language translation for wherever you're headed, so kitchen staff can read exactly what to avoid instead of relying on a conversation neither of you can fully follow.
How it works
The builder above puts one together in three steps: tap your allergens and dietary restrictions, choose a destination, and the card assembles itself in the live preview. Enter your email to receive the high-quality image; paid plans also include a printable PDF, and cards with up to three allergens include Wallet links. Save it to your phone or Wallet, then show it at any restaurant without an internet connection.
Who it's for
Anyone eating out with an allergy, intolerance, or religious dietary restriction somewhere the local language isn't your own: backpackers island-hopping through Southeast Asia, a family flying to Europe with a child's peanut allergy, or a solo traveler managing celiac disease through a two-week trip.
It covers 42 languages, from Thai and Japanese to Arabic and Hungarian. The English card is completely free, with no account and no credit card; enter your email to receive it.

Frequently asked questions
Why allergy cards matter abroad
Language barriers make food allergies genuinely dangerous. A card removes the ambiguity.
Translation apps lose the urgency
"I'm allergic to peanuts" in Google Translate reads like a preference. A card with medical framing (in the kitchen's language) doesn't.
Hidden ingredients are everywhere
In Southeast Asia, fish sauce, shrimp paste, and peanut oil show up in dishes that don't mention them. Even experienced cooks don't always flag it.
Emergencies are stressful enough
If something goes wrong, a card in the local language helps first responders act faster. Worth having and never needing.
Communicating allergies abroad
A bilingual card is your most reliable tool. But it works best alongside a few habits.
Before you travel
Learn the cuisine. Southeast Asian cooking uses fish sauce and shrimp paste as base flavours, they're in dishes that don't mention them on the menu. Know what you're walking into before you land.
At the restaurant
Show the card and say it out loud. Not everyone reads well, and not everyone takes a card as seriously as a spoken request. When in doubt, order something simple you can verify visually.
What trips people up
Relying on a translation app alone. Assuming things are labelled. Skipping the verbal conversation. Leaving their medication in the hotel room.
Hidden allergens by cuisine
Thai food
Fish sauce, shrimp paste, peanuts in nearly every sauce. Pad thai base contains both fish sauce and shrimp paste.
Japanese food
Soy sauce in virtually everything. Dashi (fish stock) as base for miso soup, noodle broths, and sauces.
Vietnamese food
Fish sauce (nước mắm) as universal condiment. Peanuts in satay garnishes, phở toppings, and noodle dishes.
Indonesian food
Peanut sauce in satay and gado-gado. Shrimp paste (terasi) as the base of most sambals.
