One concern I hear from a number of families who have children with food allergies is exactly what food brands are their children allowed to have. So as Halloween gets closer, we wanted to provide a list of common brands of common Halloween treats and the allergens they are free from.
Important to note that this list may not be complete or up-to-date. Please note it is always important to be sure with any new food item that you check the ingredients list and even call the company to be extra sure. Food ingredient lists can change unannounced at times. This list is only meant to be a starting point for ideas.
FYI: when “nuts” are listed, coconut is not included in that classification
