Your Diet ID card (also called an allergy card or diet ID) is a shareable summary of your dietary needs, complete with a QR code, so restaurant staff can quickly understand what you can and cannot eat.

## What the Diet ID card shows

The card displays your allergies, intolerances, diets, and other restrictions in a clear, easy-to-read format. Staff can see at a glance what to watch out for when preparing or serving your meal.

You can mark specific allergies as strict, which makes them stand out clearly on the card.

## Sharing your card

You can share the card directly from the app. Options include showing it on your screen, sending it as a link, or saving it as an image to share in a message.

## Showing your card in another language

Your Diet ID card can display your needs in a different language. This is especially useful when eating out abroad or at restaurants where staff speak a different language. For full details on the language options, see the related article below.

## Good to know

- **Always confirm your dietary needs verbally with a member of staff before you order**, even if you have shown them your Diet ID card. A card is a helpful starting point, not a guarantee that a dish is safe for you.
- For severe or life threatening allergies, follow the advice of your doctor or medical provider in addition to using the card.
- The card reflects whatever you have saved in your profile, so keep your profile up to date for the most accurate card.
