There’s no evidence to support severe allergic reactions from airborne nut particles, fwiw. Reactions occur from ingestion or skin contact, not air.
Comment on How do prisons handle people with peanut allergies?

Peanuts are easy enough to eliminate from catering. Airlines don’t serve any food containing peanuts, in case there’s a passenger on board with an allergy severe enough to be set off by peanut aroma in recycled air, so if one assumes that prisons have a nominal duty of care for inmates at least to the point of not killing any accidentally, it’d follow that they also abolish peanuts from their food.

Legal says it’s better safe than sorry.

As someone that’s traveled in first class extensively there are always peanuts on board

Airplanes do not recycle air. It’s constantly turned over with bleed air from the engines.

This absolutely.
They sell peanuts, m&ms, Asian food, etc at all the little shops in the terminal.

They do, but they don’t serve food containing them on the flight. And I’ve been on flights where they announced that there was a passenger onboard with a severe peanut allergy and requested that nobody open any food containing peanuts, in case someone brought some in from outside.
