Key risk: Sop buntut looks like a simple clear broth soup but contains kecap manis (soy and wheat). Nutmeg, used generously in Indonesian soups, is technically the seed of a tree (though rarely triggers tree nut allergies) but is worth flagging for the highly sensitive. The long braise makes the oxtail safe for many but the seasoning base is where allergens hide.
