If you have a food allergy and are planning to travel outside of Australia, find out about food labelling in the country you wish to visit.
For further information about international food allergen labelling laws, refer to the Food Allergen Resource and Research Program (FARRP) Allergen Map from the University of Nebraska in America.
Countries without food allergen labelling laws, including those that do not have a list of common allergens such as sesame, are more of a risk for travellers with food allergies.
You can also check if the country you are travelling to has a patient support organisation as you can contact them for information and guidance.
