Allergy Friendly Candy and Special Diet Treats for All to Enjoy

Allergy Friendly Candy and Special Diet Treats for All to Enjoy

There are many reasons why you may need to look for allergy friendly snacks. Perhaps you have recently been diagnosed with a medical condition and have specific dietary requirements, or maybe you are catering for a celebration and want to supply a wide variety of tasty treats which can be enjoyed by all in attendance. Participation in Halloween celebrations continues to grow year after year in Australia, and allergy friendly Halloween candy is a great choice which will allow those with food allergies to enjoy the occasion too. Allergy friendly sweets are no less delicious, and in this blog post we’ll be highlighting some of our favourites to make your decision of what to buy a little bit easier.

You may be surprised at how many of your favourites are free of the 8 most common allergens: peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, wheat, egg, soy, crustacean shellfish and fish. Keep in mind that ingredients can change at any time. Always read the ingredients list prior to consumption, and get in touch with the manufacturer if you have any concerns about product safety.

Here are our top picks of allergy friendly lollies for those with special diet considerations!

Skittles

Ever popular amongst adults and children alike, Skittles come in a range of fruity flavours and bright colours. The famous tagline ‘Share the Rainbow, Taste the Rainbow!’ rings true because Skittles do not contain any of the 8 major allergens. They can be enjoyed on their own or used in baking, making them ideal for any occasion. Choose from bulk packs or purchase individual Skittles fruit bottles ideal for handing out during Halloween or birthday parties.

If you are diabetic or looking to limit sugar intake, consider picking up a few packs of Jila sugar free mints.
