The Ultimate Gluten-Free Halloween Candy List

The Ultimate Gluten-Free Halloween Candy List

Halloween is just around the corner, and there is nothing scarier than getting/buying candy that contains gluten. Here is the ultimate gluten-free Halloween candy list to help make shopping easier.

Previously we shared our ultimate gluten-free Halloween chocolate list, which focuses more on seasonal treats you can hand out to trick-or-treaters, give as a gift to gluten-free kids, or put out at a Halloween party. If you want to know about a wider array of candies and chocolate, check out the ultimate gluten-free chocolate list and the ultimate gluten-free candy list.

Use this list as a guideline; however, you should always read the label to ensure that the product is made gluten-free in your area. Manufacturing formulations can be different between countries and/or can change with special or holiday versions of products. Also, recipes and manufacturing practices can change, so it’s always a good idea to check the labels.

Remember when reading any food labels (candy or otherwise) you want to know the alternative names for gluten, and what “may contain” vs. “contains” means. You may even want to use a scanner app to help you decipher if a product is safe. Check out the other tactics and practices to avoid gluten in our Ultimate Gluten-Free Guide for Beginners and 15 Steps for going gluten-free.

DISCLAIMER: Most of the chocolate on this list is manufactured in facilities or on equipment that is also used to manufacture products containing gluten. Please be sure to determine if it is safe for your personal consumption.

“Product manufactured and/or packaged on lines in which other products containing any of the “Big 8” will contain an allergen statement. Allergens listed explicitly in the ingredients may not be listed dually in the allergen statement. For every Ferrara product that contains allergens, we list a CONTAINS statement immediately following the ingredient list on all of our packages, which clearly indicates which allergens are present. If there is no CONTAINS statement following the ingredient list, then the product has no allergens. Additionally, however, Ferrara uses a MADE IN statement, which reflects any allergens within the manufacturing facility where the product is made out of an abundance of caution for those concerned with allergies.”

“Most of our products do not contain gluten from added ingredients. Those that do contain wheat gluten, such as S’mores clearly show the presence of wheat in the ingredient listings. However, please be aware that products containing wheat are produced on equipment that is also used to make our other products. So, we cannot rule out the possibility of cross-contact, despite efforts to prevent it. Because of that possibility, we do not declare any of our products to be gluten-free. Please check the ingredient listing and also check the “May Contain” information on our package.”
