Not to mention that everything was extremely affordable and most things were organic”

Bahamas
Super Value
Location: Nassau, Bahamas
“Totally blown away by this grocery store in Nassau. So many familiar allergy friendly products (ex. Clyde’s donuts, Kimberly’s cupcakes, FairLife, Pretzilla). Several cookies, donuts and cupcakes with nut-free markings. Overall, felt like I was shopping at a grocery store in the US (prices were obviously higher). I had packed a ton of snacks and food for our week at Atlantis, but easily could have bought everything here.”

Can’t speak highly enough about it.”

FreshCo Gerrard

@thedyercrew who manages celiac and tree nut and egg allergies
Loblaws
Location: Toronto, Canada
“A pricier grocery store for Toronto, but has a large selection of allergy-friendly food.

Saks Food Hall by Pusateri’s
Location: Toronto, Canada
“If I’m ever at the Eaton Centre or The Bay, or shopping in that area, Pusateri’s is where I go to grab a drink and an allergen-free packaged snack. Great alternative to the food court. They have a free-from area and stock common brands of allergy free and gluten-free snacks, but their selection does rotate so it’s not always the same free-from products every time.”
@amandaorlando who manages peanut, tree nut, milk, soy and legume allergies

Reesor’s Market & Bakery
Location: Whitchurch-Stouffville, Canada
“Cute, warm, local, and family-owned small business in the heart of the community. Staff are friendly and helpful. They carry some dairy-free and gluten-friendly options, deli meats, soups, frozen foods, and baked goods, as well as fresh local produce (in season). They take care when preparing foods in the kitchen to reduce cross-contact with allergens, and a staff member has always been available to answer my questions about ingredients and cleaning protocol. May not be suitable for people with celiac disease, but my child who has a severe wheat allergy has safely eaten some of their ‘gluten-friendly’ treats.”

@elise who manages celiac and peanut and tree nut allergies
Meny
Location: Copenhagen, Denmark
“MENY is one of the best places to find free-from foods in Copenhagen because they have an allergy-friendly section that has brands not found at other grocery stores. Unfortunately, they do not have any locations in the Indre By area, so it can be a trek to get to a location. They do have an allergen free section, and they carry some American products (Cheerios, Frosties, Rice Krispies). In the frozen food section, look out for Tilde’s, a gluten-free, nut-free brand that makes excellent cinnamon rolls!”
@elise who manages celiac and peanut and tree nut allergies
REMA 1000

“Rema is my favorite place for basic groceries in Copenhagen because it is always clean, well stocked, and has lower prices.

“Many locations throughout the UK. Grocery store that contains lots of pre-made food, great if you’re traveling. My favorite thing to get are the gluten-free sandwiches (look for green boxes). They also have a variety of salads and gluten-free wraps. They have their own ‘free-from’ line for baked goods, which includes gluten-free croissants and hot cross buns. If the food is at risk for cross-contamination from another allergen in the factory, it is stated on the package. Love M&S!!”

There was a father and son that could not have been nicer and the son spoke very good English and offered us samples and made sure there were no nuts.

Raki is served everywhere after meals and is like moonshine but this was delicious and it was the morning and we honestly couldn’t stop laughing! Such a fun experience!”

They didn’t speak a lot of English but we used our Equal Eats cards and Google translate. The do have big refrigerators of small ice creams that are in open bins – that to me are not really safe and if we had a younger child I would try to avoid them seeing as to not disappoint them. My daughter got a pre-packaged ice cream bar and all was good!”

I didn’t look at all the restaurants’ & cafés’ allergy guides, but seeing nuts in one patisserie, I chose to purchase something prepackaged. It turned out to be an absolutely delicious treat to enjoy along side my family. It’s a mere one minute walk from Milano Porto Garibaldi train station. Highly recommend this wide selection in a fun and boujee atmosphere!”

The store is full of frozen, refrigerated, and pre-packaged goodies like breads, pastas, breakfast items, desserts, and more. The cookie section is also massive (my favorite part). The owner was very friendly and also gave a list of his favorite celiac-friendly restaurant recommendations around town. There’s also an adorable little shop dog running around (clearly the assistant manager). One of our favorite finds of trip. I wish there were places like this in the states!”

@lbedwell who manages peanut and tree nut allergies
FamilyMart
Location: Nasha, Japan
“Most everything is labeled, the food allergy’s are listed in a chart the highlighted allergens are in the product. Google translate is very helpful, so is having an allergy card and knowing basic Japanese. The plain rice balls (ongiri) are typically a safe and filling bet. Be sure you get the plain if allergic to egg and dairy as mayonnaise is in most of the others, soy yogurt if you’re dairy-free, fruit bowls, etc. Staff is always helpful but you should have allergen card and be aware it’s a VERY polite culture, be patient and quiet and courteous to others and it will get you a lot further throughout Japan!”

“This grocery store was amazing! It was the first one we went to that had familiar foods, and all of the allergens were labeled clearly. For the few foods that needed to be translated, we used google photo search feature and that translated it for us.”

Villa Market – Thong Lo
Location: Khet Watthana, Thailand
“Although Villa Market does not have a ‘designated’ allergy section, they still have many allergy-friendly selections for people who are allergic to dairy, soy, nuts, peanuts, gluten, etc. They also have a large organic produce section. If you are like me, this is importation and conventional produce causes me to react, and it is hard to find organic in Thailand. The only downer is that it is a bit on the expensive side. The key is to buy a little at a time. Due to the humidity here, the produce goes bad really fast. So I would advise only buying a couple days worth at a time. This will help save money and food.”

7-Eleven
Location: Tambon Kamala, Thailand
“If you are traveling in Asia and have allergies then 7-Eleven is the place for you! When I’m in Thailand I will get snacks and often lunch at 7-Eleven. They have a wide selection of foods available with allergens often listed in English or I use translate app to scan the ingredients list. Food I class as safe and my ‘go-to’ are Lays crisps, Oreo’s, yoghurt, milkshakes, croissants. I also had a ‘famous’ toastie when I was there but I got scared of cross-contamination so I probably wouldn’t advise doing that even though they are convenient.”

Paleo Robbie
Location: Bangkok, Thailand
“Paleo Robbie has been a complete lifesaver for me living in Thailand. Their food is organic. They also provide the ingredients list online for their products. Additionally, they will deliver meals (frozen or fresh according to your preference) and baked goods. Also, they will prepare holidays favorites for people with food allergies to enjoy. The prices are very reasonable. They have different reward programs that you can join. And they always deliver on time or sooner. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! “

“My family and I stopped by to pick up some groceries for lunches and snacks during the vacation, and they had everything we needed! It’s pretty much just like a typical grocery store and has any food you might need during your stay at Turks and Caicos.”
