Confectionery items produced without common allergens such as peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, soy, gluten, eggs, and sesame provide a safer alternative for children with food allergies during the annual Halloween holiday. These products aim to minimize the risk of allergic reactions while still allowing individuals to participate in traditional celebrations. Examples include candies made primarily from fruit purees or those utilizing alternative sweeteners and binding agents.
Providing accessible and inclusive treats on Halloween reduces the potential for social exclusion and promotes a sense of community participation for individuals with dietary restrictions. Historically, a lack of allergen-aware options often left those with allergies marginalized during holiday events. The increasing availability of specialized confectionery addresses this issue, fostering a more welcoming environment for all.
