Read label: Cheetos does have a honey nut or perhaps other combination with nuts. If you have eaten one with nuts then an allergic reaction may be expected. If the label stated that it was made in a factory which uses nuts, then you must consider a contamination issue. Otherwise there is no relationship between purely Cheeto and nuts.
