Savor Malta Safely: Navigating G6PD Deficiency with Every Bite

Traveling to Malta promises sun-drenched landscapes and vibrant Mediterranean flavors. But for those with G6PD deficiency, dining out can feel like navigating a culinary minefield. Traditional Maltese dishes—like Bigilla (fava bean dip) or Kusksu (broad bean soup)—often contain ingredients that trigger harmful reactions. At mm food, we empower you to embrace Malta’s cuisine confidently, turning dining anxieties into delightful, safe experiences.

Why G6PD Precautions Matter in Malta

G6PD deficiency restricts the body’s ability to process certain foods, medications, and chemicals, risking severe hemolytic anemia. Malta’s food culture heavily features high-risk items such as:

• Fava/broad beans (common in dips, stews, and pastizzi fillings)
• Legumes like lupini beans
• Sulfite-rich preserved meats
• Artificial colorings in desserts Even cross-contamination in kitchens poses unseen dangers.
