Basically yes, but tree nuts and peanuts are on the list of the most common allergens and are ones of the deadliest. Tree nut allergies are responsible for around 50% of anaphylaxis-related deaths, I think it’s a high number. Allergic reaction to both of them can start after inhaling small particles (that’s why the woman was afraid of somebody opening the package with peanuts). Considering these arguments, it’s better to not sell nuts and peanuts onboard.
Why do they sell potentially allergic products onboard?

Honestly haven’t been served any kind of nuts on a plane in decades, it’s usually pretzels.
