In addition to asking a lot of questions about ingredients and preparation methods, many food-allergic teens and adults carry a “chef card” with them that outlines the foods that they must avoid. The card is presented to the chef or manager for review and serves as a reminder of the food allergy. This is an interactive PDF that will allow you to type your allergens directly onto the chef card.

Food Allergy Action Plan adobe acrobat icon (PDF, 194 KB)

Ask your doctor to fill out a Food Allergy Action Plan describing what actions to take and medications to give if you begin to have a reaction. Keep a copy in the school nurse’s office at school.

Once you are 18, make sure to update your Food Allergy Action Plan with your own signature and your college address (if applicable). Give copies to the student health center and your Resident Assistant and be sure to keep a copy readily accessible in your dorm room or apartment.
