Looking for candy for the kids, or kids at heart, in your life who have food allergies? Here is the Kids with Food Allergies (KFA) candy guide for food-allergy-friendly sweets! You can use this guide when shopping for candy for holidays, gatherings, treats, parties, or just for fun!
This information is for your convenience only and was last verified in October 2024. Always read ingredient labels. Contact the manufacturer, if needed, to confirm if the product is safe for your needs.
Avoiding Food Allergy Reactions
Remember, read labels every time on any food you give your child. Ingredients can vary for many reasons, especially on different sizes and treats in seasonal packaging.
Also, remember that a holiday, party, or celebration is not the best time to try new foods.
Find Allergy-Friendly Candy
Search KFA’s Allergy-Friendly Foods collection for candies and treats to fit many food allergy needs.
The buttons below take you to different searches for candy free of the allergens listed on the button. The “Free of Top Food Allergens” button searches for candy and gum free of the most common food allergens – milk, egg, soy, peanut, tree nuts (not including coconut), sesame, wheat, gluten, fish, and shellfish. We have also included buttons below for common categories.
You can set up your own custom search. Click “All Candy” then “Show Search Query.” Adjust the search for what you want to avoid and then click “Search” at the bottom of the form.
Click the item in the search results to view the product listing in our Allergy-Friendly Foods collection. Each product includes information about allergens and ingredients, flavors, and varieties, as well as facility information from the manufacturers’ websites.
Some companies make holiday-themed candy. You can include seasonal tags in your search to find holiday candy. Here are the tags you can search for:
- Valentine
- Easter
- Halloween
- Thanksgiving
- Hanukkah or Chanukah
- Christmas
Note: The “Free of Top Food Allergens” and the “Peanut & Tree Nut Free” searches may include items that contain coconut.
KFA has also created a shareable handout for our candy guide. Our handout lists candies free of the top allergens. Download it to take shopping or to share with teachers and your child’s other caregivers.
