Cashews are actually seeds, not nuts. So I guess people with tree nut allergies applies to seeds as well.

There’s a difference between culinary and botanical usage of several terms including fruit, vegetable, and berry that are often referenced. A lot of things we colloquially refer to as nuts are seeds in the botanical sense. Nut allergies adopted the colloquial/culinary usage of the word, and those with tree nut allergies need to be careful of seeds also.
