Trick or Treat While Being Gluten-Free This Halloween
Look for safe candies and other treats!
According to the Celiac Disease Foundation, you should always take caution when trick-or-treating, especially for children with celiac disease. If you are concerned about how to make your Halloween safe, maybe contact a dietitian or gastroenterologist before Halloween to fully understand which foods are safe.
There are only a small number of candies that are really safe for kids with gluten-free allergies. However, a variety of Hershey's candies are. Hershey Kisses, Milk Duds, and Nugget Candies are all gluten-free. Also, a few non-chocolate candies like Raisenets, Laffy Taffy, Butterfingers, certain fruit snacks, PEEPS, and gluten-free pretzels are gluten-free as well.
