Halloween should be full of costumes, jack-o’-lanterns, and fun — not scary ingredient surprises.
That’s why we’re excited to announce this year’s Halloween Editions of the Safe Snack Guide, our extensive catalogs of allergy-friendly and gluten-free foods relied upon by thousands of schools and tens of thousands of families nationwide.
While we’re still unable to find a reliable source of allergy-friendly eye of newt, toe of frog, or wool of bat, we have conjured up a dungeon full of allergy-friendly treats!
Halloween Treats Without the Guesswork
We’ve dedicated an entire section of each guide to Halloween-themed candies and chocolates, just in time for trick-or-treating, classroom parties, and allergy-friendly celebrations at home and school.
And don’t stop there: Be sure to browse the traditional Candy and Chocolate sections for even more options.
If your child has food allergies and plans to go trick-or-treating, consider stocking up beforehand on treats you know are safe. When they return with their haul, you can play “Switch Witch” — swapping treats that aren’t safe for ones they can enjoy. That way, kids can still take part in the excitement of trick-or-treating without missing out on the best part: the treats!
There’s a Guide for Your Family
The Safe Snack Guide is designed for families managing a wide variety of dietary restrictions. Our standard editions include:
But if these don’t meet your family’s specific allergen restrictions, build your own Custom Guide tailored to any combination of the 11 allergens and dietary restrictions we track: the Top 9 — peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, milk, wheat, soy, fish, crustacean shellfish, and sesame — plus mustard and gluten.
See What the Label Doesn’t Tell You
Best of all, our guides are interactive. Click any product entry and you’ll see precisely how that product is manufactured with respect to shared lines and facilities for the allergens we track. That’s important because this information often isn’t disclosed on the package label or anywhere else!
So before the costumes go on and the candy buckets come out, check the Halloween Editions of the Safe Snack Guide and find treats that fit your family’s needs. Here’s to a Halloween filled with more treats — and fewer scares!
