This card is for communication only. It does not replace your allergy action plan, epinephrine auto-injector, or advice from your doctor. When in doubt, choose a simpler dish or another restaurant.

Traveling in China with food allergies

Eating out in China when you have food allergies or celiac disease means communicating clearly with kitchen staff who may not speak English. A written card in Chinese reduces misunderstandings about peanuts, shellfish, dairy, gluten, soy, and cross-contact from shared woks or oil.

This free tool builds a printable allergy notice you can show at restaurants, street food stalls, and hotel buffets. Select your allergens and severity, then print or screenshot the card before you travel or dine.
