A friend invited me to lunch at Mad Greens.  They have a really amazing menu that allows one to select all of their allergens and preferences and it returns menus choices.

 

So, I entered W30 restrictions and got a nice list.  I noticed that it excluded avocado even though I didn't.  That makes me wonder how well the little menu works.

 

Our location is really loud, so conversations with the staff will be a challenge for me.  I'll probably call ahead, but I'm curious about the avocado and it's ingredients.  (I can choose olive oil or olives for my fat.)  Anyone care to take a look and chime in?

So, after playing with the menu a bit and calling the local Mad Greens, it seems as though a lot of ingredients were excluded for citric acid.  At the restaurant, the girl told me that they dip avocado in lemon juice to preserve the color.

 

So, the new question: are there sulfites in lemon juice and citric acid?  A friend who goes to Md Greens is avoiding citric acid for IC and now I am wondering if she should be avoiding sulfites and if I should be avoiding citric acid.

 

I appreciate any insight.

The lemon juice I use from a bottle when I'm lazy (Sicilia) contains sulfur dioxide as its preservative.  This is a closely related oxide but not a sulfite.

 

It is also not absurd to think that a place that takes such care to isolate ingredients might use fresh lemons.
