I plan to trade him candy for toys or money. Then we don't have to worry as much about it. It is so hard with allergies and his are top 8. </p> JerricaBenton on "Have you ever considered allergen-free Halloween candy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-considered-allergen-free-halloween-candy#post-361063 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 16:51:31 +0000 JerricaBenton 361063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: That stinks! It's sad to think of those kids (and you!) who can't eat most candies! I'll have to check when I shop. Maybe hard candies/lollipops are safer bets. </p> spaniellove on "Have you ever considered allergen-free Halloween candy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-considered-allergen-free-halloween-candy#post-361060 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 16:47:24 +0000 spaniellove 361060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: Unfortunately, no - hydrogenated palm kernel oil is the 3rd ingredient. I actually bought a bag of Starburst, Skittles, and Life Savers Gummies without reading ingredients thinking it had to be safe and learned the hard way. </p> JerricaBenton on "Have you ever considered allergen-free Halloween candy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-considered-allergen-free-halloween-candy#post-361036 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 16:36:04 +0000 JerricaBenton 361036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never even considered allergies but I usually get one bag of fruity candy, like Starbursts. Are they palm free? </p> spaniellove on "Have you ever considered allergen-free Halloween candy?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-considered-allergen-free-halloween-candy#post-361003 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 16:23:18 +0000 spaniellove 361003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my food allergies (peanuts, tree nuts, coconut, palm, chickpeas, it goes on...) I've realized that there are very few safe candies out there. Most chocolates/candies seem to contain or be contaminated with peanuts/tree nuts or palm! After a trick-or-treater last year waited until all his friends left and then asked me if I had anything without nuts because of his food allergies, I realized I shouldn't be a hypocrite. So when I went to Target for this year's Halloween candy I learned just how hard it is to find an entire bag free of major allergens! I finally found this bag, not the most exciting (I know I did not love these) but at least it works. </p> [attach=2312/12/mcgwqv.600x448.Photo-Oct-25--5-15-18-PM.jpg]
