Allergy UK translation cards help you deal with food allergies abroad

If you or a loved one lives with a food allergy, now is a good card to stock up on Allergy UK translation cards before the holiday season starts.

Travelling overseas can bring added worry, especially when language barriers make it difficult to explain allergens in restaurants, hotels or on excursions. Allergy UK translation cards are designed to lower that stress, helping families travel with greater confidence and peace of mind.

The cards are pocket-sized and explain food allergies in the local language. They can be shown to waiting staff, chefs or food vendors, helping ensure allergens are understood and taken seriously.

They are available in 35 languages and cover up to 200 allergens. They include:

• A clear allergy alert message
• A restaurant message explaining food must be free from the allergen
• An emergency message to get help in urgent situations.

The cards are made in durable plastic, ideal for wallets and travel bags; or can be used as digital downloads.

Allergy UK allergy translation cards can be ordered online.
