Now if only Mondelez would make corn free Skittles and Starbursts ... my DD's life would be complete! 

Mondelez seems to have gotten the message, or maybe there is someone keeping track of all of the dairy,egg, pn and tn free candy being bought!  Today I found big bags of the following combinations that are safe for us:

-Skittles and Starbursts

-Sour Patch Kids, Swedish Fish and Oreo minis

-Twizzlers and Jolly Ranchers

My work is now done!

Thanks - we've removed the chocolate covered from the list. 

Thank you so much for including our Red Bird Candies on your list! I saw that you included our Dark Chocolate Covered Peppermint Mini Puffs and they are delicious BUT they do have "Anhydrous Milkfat" and "Soy Lecithin" in the chocolate so we just wanted to point that out. Keep up the good work! 

Thanks for catching that Dinamet7. We've removed Fruit Snacks from the list. Only the Fruit Snacks use wheat as a processing aid. The licorice is made with glucose syrup made from wheat.

The YUM Earth Fruit Snacks are NOT Top 8 free.  The last pack I purchased (and I just checked an ingredient listing linked from the Yum Earth website on iHerb.com as well) shows wheat starch in the ingredients. Yum Earth's website says the starch is processed enough to give them "Gluten Free" certification, but Gluten Free is not Wheat Free when you're living with ige mediated wheat allergy. May be safe for some celiacs, but certainly not Top 8 Free.

Benjamin - we note the trace of soy oil because it is not required to be labeled. However there are some people with soy allergy who do react even to highly refined soy oil.

As for the other ingredients, Kids With Food Allergies goal is to provide information on the safety of food with regard to allergens. We leave it up to families to make the decision about whether any particular food or product meets their family's standards.

It's cool to see a good list that a few companies use real ingredients to make their candy. I know I appreciate it for sure and can imagine more people do as well!

When we have certain food sensitivities/allergies, it's really helped me & many other parents & their children when we eliminated the artificial "junk" from our diets, since in every case from these people their health has increased. 

I am curious to know why the importance of making sure a trace bit of refined soy oil is such a major issue in something and not having the slightest concern about toxic, artificial & genetically modified chemicals & ingredients being used in some of these products listed above, such as skittles or lifesavers? The ingredient list of  (I'll just use skittles as an example) this particular candy actually makes health issues worse, not to mention everyone that's on the spectrum having learning & especially behaviors issues.

In the beginning I didn't pay any attention to it, but now I know better so I do better. 

Thank you for clarifying.

Hi! Some companies on the list use dedicated equipment, and some may not - we always advise families to check if that is a concern, and we wanted to provide as much variety as possible. The number for Wrigley is 1-800-Wrigley, it seems, and they say to call for the most updated info.

I hope you have a Happy Halloween!

I am excited to see skittles, starbursts and lifesavers on here!   Did anyone confirm whether or not they have dedicated top 8 free equipment also? Or was this list compiled using ingredient lists only?  I know I should call them myself...just wanting to know the criteria used for the list.   Thanks!
