Halloween
Tricks with Treats
 October
31st is just around the corner. A night where witches,
goblins, ghosts and of course miniature versions of various super
heroes appear on our doorsteps requesting Halloween treats. For
parents of Celiac children, checking if the Halloween candy is
safe is elevated to a whole new level. Luckily, there are a lot
of commercial candies available that are commonly handed out on
Halloween night. Here is a list of gluten-free candies that are
on the allowed list. (As with all gluten-free manufactured foods,
please read the labels and check with the manufacturers. This
list may be dated — the manufacturers may change their processes
at any time.)
