Author Albertsons Market | October 16, 2023

Halloween is a time of excitement and fun, especially for kids eager to dress up in their favorite costumes and embark on a delightful candy hunt. However, for children with allergies, this holiday can pose a challenge, as many traditional Halloween treats contain allergens that can make the festivities spookier than enjoyable. But fear not! There are fantastic allergen-free options available that ensure all kids can join in on the Halloween fun.

 

YumEarth 

YumEarth is a brand that understands the importance of allergen-free treats, without compromising on taste or quality. Their candies are free from the top eight allergens, making them a safe choice for children with common allergies such as nuts, dairy, and gluten. YumEarth offers a wide range of flavorful options, from gummy bears to lollipops, all made with real fruit juice and organic ingredients. Not only do they cater to allergen concerns, but their commitment to organic and non-GMO ingredients ensures a healthier alternative to traditional candies. Yum Earth's vibrant packaging and delicious flavors make them a fantastic addition to any Halloween gathering.

 

Partake

All Partake foods are free of the top 9 allergens and just in time for Halloween, they have individual bags of cookies if you want to offer this to your trick-or-treaters with food allergies. This female-owned founder and CEO, Denise Woodard, set out in 2016 when her daughter was diagnosed with multiple food allergies to create something helpful and tasty. Not only are they on a mission to give you a quality product but also on a mission of their own to give back to organizations like ‘No Kid Hungry’ and ‘Black Futures In Food and Beverage’.

Non-Food Items 

Beyond edible treats, non-food items are gaining popularity as Halloween giveaways. These options not only cater to allergies but also promote sustainability and creativity. Glow-in-the-dark bracelets, spooky stickers, pencils, mini puzzles, and temporary tattoos are fantastic alternatives that can spark the same level of excitement as traditional candies. Non-food items provide a refreshing change, encouraging a more inclusive and imaginative Halloween experience for children of all ages.
