这里的food多半是指菜,而不是饭,因为无论是白饭或炒饭有无花生一眼就能看出。但如果炒饭用花生油则看不出。

为了保险起见,也可说成:
您这饭菜里有花生吗?……

如果不喜欢前面的您,可改成:

这份菜里有花生吗?……

可按下面译法明确将花生和花生油包括进来:

这份饭菜里有花生或花生油吗?我对花生过敏,不能吃花生。

agree Francis Fine : (1) Xiaoping Fu makes a very good point (to the questioner rather than to the translator).. (2)垫 is indeed a good translation. But,does it include, say, spread useds on toast or cookies,both of which may or may not contain peanuts as an ingredient?.

Thank you for your comments. My first guess is that this is probably used in a restaurant. Since the asker is asking for a Chinese version, it is probably to be used in a Chniese restaurant.
