I don't know anyone in Poland that have peanut allergies. Peanuts are only used for a few cakes (walnut).

  Hmm, so walnuts are used, but not peanuts. From friends here with allergies, they're specifically allergic to peanuts and not nuts in general (though they avoid most because they're often processed in the same facilities). Depending on the severity of their allergy that avoidance will be greater or lesser, a couple will eat brownies or cookies made with walnuts, or a pecan pie, but won't eat from a can of mixed nuts even if it doesn't (by the label) contain peanuts.

    Peanuts are legumes, and walnuts are tree nuts. People can be allergic to just legumes, or just tree nuts or both. Within the tree nut family, some people can be allergic to just certain types such as cashew nuts because the proteins they're allergic differ to other tree nuts.

      My first sentence was meant to be a question. OP seemed to be using peanuts as a generic term for nuts and I wanted clarification.
