Food Allergies and Halloween: Time to Get Ready

For those of us with food allergic children, planning ahead for Halloween is essential. My little guy goes trick or treating around the neighborhood. When he gets home, we take out all the candy with milk, eggs, peanuts and tree nuts.

All the candy that isn't labeled goes too.

Now, here's where my preparation pays off. I have lots of great treats to put back in the bag. Allow shipping time and order safe treats today. Check out these suppliers, with direct links to Halloween treats:

Divvies
Amanda's Own
Enjoy Life
AllerNeeds
Chocolate Emporium
Peanut Free Planet
Premium Chocolatiers
Vermont Nut Free

Most of these sources have order deadlines in mid-October to guarantee shipping in time for the big day. Did I miss any of your favorite Halloween go-tos?

Dear Sir/Madam

Thank you for sharing your experience about allergies with us. We are students from the National University of Singapore, and we are designing a testing device called Prevagen™ that tests food to detect allergens. We would like to find out how much customer demand there is for Prevagen™, as well as determine what customer needs we need to satisfy.

Hi, we sincerely hope that you could help us out in an email interview. Please send us your email add if you are willing to do so. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Don't forget Willy Wonka Candy and Gimbal's. Nearly all of their candies are allergen-free, and you can buy them at the supermarket.
