They put it on as an allergy warning!. The package may contain peanuts but have been processed in a plant that also processes tree nuts!. You can have a tree nut allergy but not be allergic to peanuts and vice versa!. They have to let you know because they are very severe allergens!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I believe it's a legal requirement!.
Have you noticed a lot of other non-nutty foods will have the same wording, as the manufacturing equipment & factories cannot guarantee to be 100% nut free when producing different products!Www@FoodAQ@Com

its the law even though it is obvious, even things that dont contain nuts have to have it on because the production plant might have been used for something containing nuts before hand, it can be very nasty to anyone allergic to nuts if they do come into even the slightest contactWww@FoodAQ@Com
