Translation Cards
Allergy UK can help you protect you and your family when travelling abroad
Translation Cards are available, together with our Airline Guide Fact Sheet to help you feel more confident and able to enjoy your time abroad.
Food Allergy
Sets of three laminated cards are provided, each about the size of a credit card.
The cards contain an Allergy Alert message, an Emergency message and a message for use in restaurants
to ensure that your food order is free from the particular allergen that
causes your severe allergic reaction.
The cards are English on one side and the language of the country you are visiting
on the reverse side.
Cards can now be produced in the following languages:
Arabic, Bengali, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Flemish, French, German, Greek, Hindi,
Italian, Japanese, Malay, Maltese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Punjabi, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish and Vietnamese.
Cards for nut and peanut allergies are available in all the languages listed above.
Sets for other allergies are also available in some languages. Please check
with our Allergy Helpline for details.
A set of three cards cost £15 per language.
Food Intolerance
Due to growing demand we also supply translation cards for Food Intolerance. These laminated cards come in a set of two and can be produced to cover most foods. On one side, the cards are in English and on the other the language of the country you are visiting.
According to which card you need to use they either state which foods you need to avoid and ask if the restaurant can cater for you or they explain that you may need to use a toilet urgently, both potentially embarrassing situations.
At the present we have the cards in six languages: French, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, Italian and Greek
The Food Intolerance Cards cost £10 per language.
