Key risk: The peanut sauce served with satay is not optional in traditional Thai preparation. It is the defining condiment. The marinade itself also contains fish sauce and coconut milk. Someone with peanut allergy cannot safely eat Thai satay even if they skip the sauce, as cross-contamination from the sauce station is likely.
