For kids with peanut allergy or other food allergies, there really is NO such thing as a safe candy or safe snack list. Ingredients change, comfort levels, manufacturing practices, and allergies are all different, and there are many sizes and varieties of any given product.

But with Halloween coming, we know you need someplace to start. My allergy friends and I have noticed that there are some “safe” candies and treats we have in common. So consider this the “allergy drawing board”–simply a place to start.

Remember:
None of these snacks are safe for everyone.

You need to check and read EVERY ingredient wrapper. You need to know that small size and Halloween sizes often have different ingredients. For example: small Laffy Taffy has no egg, Large Laffy Taffy does have egg.

You should also know that different versions of the same product have different ingredients. For example: Regular Spree, no egg; Chewy Spree DOES contain egg.

And studies have shown that “may contains” products often DO contain the allergen. Read more here from Dr Scott Sicherer.

It’s up to you to decide if any of these treats are safe for your child.
