Key risk: Durian is allergen-free by conventional allergen standards. It is a pure fruit with no cross-reactive proteins to standard allergens. It is included here because it appears on menus in various preparations (fresh, with sticky rice, in ice cream, in pastries) where additional allergens may be added.
