Traveling to Israel with an allergy?

Allergy-free baked goods

Every Jew dreams of vacationing in Israel with their family and friends. When you go on vacation, you want to have a stress-free vacation, and not have to worry about having any medical problems or allergic reactions. Sadly, Israel is very bad with labeling products for allergens, especially since all of the spices are processed in the same machine as nuts and sesame.

Until now, allergy-free baked goods were simply a dream in Israel. Unless you take precautions, Israel may not be a great place to visit if you have food allergies.  Depending on what you are allergic to, finding allergy-free baked goods may be especially problematic.  The prevalence of sesame, eggs, and tree nuts in foods such as cakes, cookies, bread, burekas, and pastries is common.  Even if the product does not contain sesame or nuts, there is a very high probability the product had been mixed and/or baked with utensils that have been used with these common allergens.

Going into any bakery in Israel, you will witness sesame and/ or nuts in virtually every product, on the floor, shelves, and stuck to nearby products, thereby contaminated them.  Whether allergic to eggs, sesame, tree nuts, poppy seeds, or peanuts – virtually no bakery is safe and allergy-free.

Any severe food-allergy sufferer who can go into anaphylactic shock because of exposure to specific foods knows just how important it is to avoid these dangerous triggers. This poses a serious problem for millions of food allergy sufferers who want to visit Israel, study in Israel, or just want to eat food like a “normal” allergy-free person at an event or on vacation.

Recommended by an Infectious Disease Specialist

My experience with Ema Care has been so positive that I wanted to share it in case it could help someone else. Eight days ago my daughter, a Shanah Bet student, called to say she wasn’t feeling well and had symptoms of Covid-19. I was put in touch with an Infectious Disease specialist who recommended Ema Care. I reached Dr. Eliana Aaron easily and signed my daughter up. The next morning, Ema Care gave my daughter a telehealth exam and provided her with prescriptions, as well as a list of
