Top Tips for Traveling in Europe with Food Allergies
1. Understand EU Food Labeling Laws
The EU requires 14 major allergens to be clearly labeled on pre-packaged foods. However, this doesn’t always apply to restaurant menus or fresh foods, so it’s important to ask questions and double-check.
2. Carry Allergy Translation Cards
Language barriers can be a real risk. Equal Eats translation cards are professionally translated and medically reviewed, making it easier to communicate your allergies clearly and respectfully in over 50 languages.
3. Pack Smart & Prepare Ahead
Bring safe snacks, medications (like epinephrine auto-injectors), and a small medical kit. Research local emergency numbers, pharmacy access, and allergy-friendly restaurants before you go.
4. Know Your Emergency Plan
Be familiar with how to handle an allergic reaction abroad, and always travel with at least two epinephrine auto-injectors. Consider travel insurance that covers medical emergencies.
Conclusion: You Can Travel with Food Allergies — and Enjoy It
With the right tools and mindset, food allergies don’t have to hold you back. Watch Kyle’s video for an honest and informative look at what it takes to travel through Europe safely, confidently, and joyfully.
