The scary part of Halloween should be stories of witches and ghosts, not the candy. Food-centered holidays can be stressful when managing food allergies. With planning, your family can still safely enjoy Halloween traditions.

You can buy many allergy-friendly candies in stores and online. Also consider giving non-food treats, such as stickers or small toys. Many kids love them as much as candy, and they help avoid food allergy reactions.

Whether you are looking for allergy-friendly treats to hand out or for the “Switch Witch” to leave, below are some allergy-friendly Halloween candy ideas. These candies are free of milk, egg, soy, peanut, tree nuts, wheat, gluten, fish, and shellfish. Most candies are free from sesame and coconut, but not all.

Always read product labels to make sure treats are safe for your family. Some candies can be repackaged with other candies that may contain allergens. Be sure you know all of these label reading “tricks” to make sure your “treats” are safe:

• Different varieties of the same candy may have different ingredients.
• Different sizes of the same candy may have different ingredients or advisory labeling.
• Individually wrapped treats can be packaged in a larger bag. Make sure the inner and outer labels match.
• Repackaged candy may have different labels than the candy made and sold directly by the company.
• Be careful of products with claims like “allergy free” or “Halloween safe.” There is no such thing as an “allergy safe” or “allergy free” food because children can have allergies to any food. A food labeled “allergy free” may still include one of your child’s food allergens.
