I know it sounds ridiculous and like an overreaction, but truly if someone has a serious nut allergy, even being in the room or around other people who have eaten nuts is life threatening. The particles get in people's hands, on the furniture, on their lips. My family can't eat nuts in the house, and I have to leave the cinema if someone starts eating nuts. I can tell straight away, thankfully
Mind you, I haven't watched this episode yet, so I'm not sure if there were actual nuts or just 'may contain traces' of nuts? If a product is just 'may contain traces' then I can't eat it but I can be around people who are. I would only have to leave the place if there were actual nuts.
(And incidentally this was a total set up for the candidates! Seems really unfair that they didn't both have the same challenge, or neither.)
