Santa Monica, CA-
Many of us will be celebrating the upcoming holiday season differently this year due to the Coronavirus. This might mean smaller, more intimate Halloween celebrations. But while you get into the holiday spirit, you may still want to have allergy-friendly Halloween candy on hand. These sweet treats are free of the top food allergens which could contain peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, egg, soy, wheat, and even fish/shellfish.
Don't be fooled! Teach your children to get in the habit of reading ingredient lists for each item before indulging. Oftentimes, specialty seasonal holiday candy may have different ingredients than year round items. Some candy products advertised themselves as, "allergy free" or "Halloween safe." In reality, children can have allergies to any food items.
