Peanut and Tree Nut Allergy Translation Card - Plastic Restaurant Travel Card - Equal Eats (English)

My teenager is going to be traveling internationally with a team this summer and we won’t be going with him. Cue the immediate stress of sending my kid with anaphylactic allergies to a foreign country where he doesn’t speak the language. Solution? Equal Eats! With this double-sided card AND their easy to use app, I can be sure that my son won’t end up in the hospital!

This was a huge help.. and saved time and my life when it came to the food I could have eaten in Korea. The restaurant owners read the card and took it very serious. Thank you for having this handy. I was able to stay protected and enjoy safe food.

Very helpful in Japan

I think these are expensive for what it is, but it does the job. We had ones previously for a trip to Europe that really helped locals understand the allergy. Got this one for traveling to Costa Rica this year.

We have several iterations of these cards, and we have found them to be tremendously helpful. I’m giving the card only a “3” rating because it lumps peanut allergies with tree nut allergies. Peanuts are not tree nuts. These are different families of allergens. The result is when presenting the card to a vendor where you don’t speak the language, you are communicating more allergies than you actually have. This can unnecessarily limit the types of food available. Add that to a child in a foreign country, and you can imagine how this overstatement of allergies a problem for getting food. I’d give them a “5” if they offered a more specific tree nut or peanut allergy guidance.

I bought an English "translation" card and expected two languages. The card I received has only English. The card will still be helpful as we dine, but I was disappointed.
