I am no expert in either allergies to peanuts , but would it be worth the risk in serving desert ?

I see this amongst other various points on ba.com (under food allergies nearer the bottom) so I presume they take that as professional advice.

When boarding the aircraft you must inform Cabin Crew of your severe peanut or tree nut allergy. If you request it, Cabin Crew will make an announcement so that other passengers are aware of your allergy. Cabin Crew will also suspend the serving of loose nut snacks in your cabin of travel.
