Your guide to allergy-friendly Halloween candy

Help make Halloween safer for everyone by handing out one of these dairy-free, gluten-free or nut-free candies.

For children with dairy, nut or gluten allergies, the phrase “trick or treat” can take on a whole new meaning. But public awareness about allergies has been spreading, and there are now more ways to ensure Halloween is safer for everyone. Initiatives like the Teal Pumpkin Project encourage people to put out a teal pumpkin, thereby marking their homes as one offering non-food treats for kids.
