Some airlines have. Wonder why NZ serves vege crisps instead of nuts? Well now you know.
Others, like SQ frequently will announce before pushback that there are nut-allergic pax on board and therefore these have been removed from catering, plus please do not open anything with nuts you have brought on board. Since I like the SQ satay I do a wee groan, but then am thankful that my allergies are not as severe that my life is in danger every time I fly.
