What do people who suffer from environmental or food allergies need to know?
Be your own advocate and ask specific questions about your allergens. Thankfully you can ask detailed/specific questions in English here AND understand the answers. All food labels have English ingredient lists (however note that the generic term “permitted additives” is allowed as a named ingredient!). There’s general awareness of allergies, particularly nuts. But a lot of the foods here contain soy, ground peanuts or candlenuts and ground shrimp paste, and labeling might not be what you’re used to. - Mar 2022
Chronic Sinus conditions (like myself) can struggle here. - Aug 2015
