Key risk: Traditional guacamole is one of the safest dishes for virtually all allergens — it is pure vegetables and fruit. The main risk is the accompanying chips (shared fryers) or non-traditional additions like sour cream. At traditional Mexican restaurants, guacamole is made tableside from pure ingredients.
