Confections suitable for individuals with food sensitivities, especially during the Halloween season, typically exclude common allergens such as peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, soy, gluten, and eggs. These products are formulated to minimize the risk of allergic reactions, allowing more children to participate in trick-or-treating. Examples include hard candies, certain fruit-flavored chews, and chocolate alternatives made without dairy.
Providing treats that are free from major allergens is increasingly important due to the rising prevalence of food allergies among children. Offering these options fosters inclusivity and reduces anxiety for children with dietary restrictions and their families. Historically, the selection of safe treats was limited; however, manufacturers now offer a broader range of choices to meet this growing demand. This ensures a safer and more enjoyable experience for everyone.
