Even if a full-size candy is labeled nut-free, its fun-size or mini versions may still contain nuts due to different production lines. Always check the packaging on every size.
Tips
- Fun-size or mini candies may be processed in different factories on different equipment that may handle common allergens, even if the full-size version is nut-free.
- Allergen warnings are usually on the larger package, not the tiny wrappers, so check the big bag or box.
- Consider participating in The Teal Pumpkin Project to offer non-food treats for kids with allergies.
- Keep non-food treats in a separate bowl from candy to prevent cross-contamination and make it easier for kids to choose.
- Triple check bags of minis and consult reliable sources like Foodallergy.org for up-to-date safe candy lists.
