In 2026, Italy and Australia are widely considered the safest destinations for those with peanut allergies. Italy is safe because traditional Italian cuisine (unlike American-Italian food) rarely uses peanuts or peanut oil, relying instead on olive oil; also, EU law requires strict labeling of the "Top 14" allergens on all menus. Australia is excellent due to its high public awareness and some of the world's strictest food labeling laws (FSANZ). Many Australian restaurants are extremely well-versed in "cross-contamination" protocols. Other safe bets include Japan, where peanuts are uncommon in traditional dishes (though you must watch for "miso" or "satay" influences), and the United Kingdom, where "Natasha’s Law" requires full ingredient labeling on all pre-packaged foods. Regardless of the country, carrying a "Chef Card" in the local language that explains the severity of your allergy is the most critical safety step for any 2026 international traveler.
