Nut-Free Halloween Candy Guide

When navigating the sweets aisle, make a habit of checking the package label for potential allergens, every single time. Even if nuts are not present in the ingredient list, this does not mean the candy is safe to eat. Cross-contamination can occur when any nuts of any kind are present in the same space where the candy is made—check for this information underneath the nutrition label. Lastly, many candy companies will provide official allergen statements on their websites to provide transparency about their production methods. For example, Tootsie Roll Industries currently states the following on their FAQ’s page:

“At this time, all of our confections are completely peanut, tree nut and nut product free. We have no peanut or tree nut products in any of our facilities.”

We get it—constantly scouring candy labels and websites can make you nutty, but it’s the easiest way to ensure a stress-free Halloween for you and your family. If there’s any confusion, never hesitate to contact a company directly.
