Default Severe nut allergies, considering moving to Vietnam?

Hello everyone,

My boyfriend is half Vietnamese, and wants to move there in the future. He does not speak the language. I would love to be able to move there with him. However, I have severe allergies to ALL nuts (not just peanuts), and am not sure how I'd survive in that part of the world.

Has anyone traveled/lived in Vietnam with a serious nut allergy?

Do ingredient labels document the possibility of cross contamination?

I'd love to hear any info at all related to nuts and food prep, and the availability of western eateries such as Subway that I could feel comfortable in.

Thank you for any information!!
