What is a food allergy translation 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 four steps: choose your destination, select what to avoid, review the finished card, then receive your files. The emailed image uses the same card template shown in the preview; paid plans also include a printable PDF, and cards with up to three allergens or restrictions include Wallet links. File delivery is the final step in the builder.
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 60+ languages, from Thai and Japanese to Arabic and Hungarian. The English card is completely free and downloadable, with unlimited allergens, no account and no credit card. You get the clean card image with no time limit or sample watermark. Enter your email and we'll send it.
The hidden-ingredient warnings shown while you build your card come from a database of 200+ ingredient sources mapped to specific allergens, including things like fish sauce hiding gluten or ghee hiding dairy that a menu rarely spells out.

From travelers who used AllergyPass
in Thailand.
-
I developed a lactose and gluten intolerance a few years into living in Thailand, and honestly, just avoided restaurants and cafés due to the language barrier of trying to explain it. However, after coming across this Allergy Pass Card, it's become so much easier to go out and about - I just show my phone without having to use Google Translate every time.

The service is good and very convenient, it’s been needed for a while.
Frequently asked questions
Why allergy cards matter abroad
Language barriers make food allergies genuinely dangerous. A written card makes the request clearer and easier to pass to the kitchen.
Translation apps lose the urgency
A literal translation may not communicate severity or give the kitchen enough context. AllergyPass pairs the translation with explicit severity wording.
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 shows anyone helping you which foods you react to, without relying on a shared language.
Communicating allergies abroad
A bilingual card is one useful communication tool. 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. If staff can't confirm the ingredients and how the dish is prepared, choose something else rather than judging by how it looks: sauces, oils, and shared equipment aren't visible on the plate.
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.
