This is a quick list of allergen-free Halloween candy for 2015. This list includes candies that do not contain gluten or the top 8 allergens (wheat, milk, soy, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish or shellfish) as an ingredient. I have listed coconut separately since I don’t consider it a tree nut (nor do most allergy organizations), but I recognize that there are coconut allergies. I also listed sesame if stated on the label (sesame is becoming a more common allergen). If there is an allergen warning on the package, I included it.
For the complete listing of allergens and company statements see the Halloween Candy Ingredient Guide 2015 for Gluten & Food Allergies.
For a quick list of candies that are gluten-free, see the Gluten-Free Halloween Candy Quick List 2015.
For a list of natural and organic candies, see the Natural & Organic Halloween Candy List 2015.
Note: Please, as always, double check ingredients. This list is meant as a guide only.
NOTE for bloggers/organizations/media: Please do not reprint this list without my permission. Linking to it, however, is just fine and dandy! Printing is encouraged for personal use or for schools, etc. I appreciate your consideration of my work.

Rivk Leder says
Thank you for this list but my daughter’s big sensitivity (in addition to gluten & dairy) is corn which you don’t touch on at all. I know it’s not one of the top 8 but I wish it was. More and more kids & families are staying away from high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, and other corn derivatives. Surf Sweets candies are perfect candies for my daughter as well as YumEarth candies and Justin’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups. I hope this helps other families.
Alison says
Hi Rivk,
I know that corn is a big issue but manufacturers are not required by law to list corn, so I worry that even though it’s not on the label, it could still be in the candy.
Ann-Marie says
Thank you SO much, Allison!
Halloween is always a nightmare for us (no pun intended)!
This makes things much, much easier for us. I usually buy my son’s candy and swap it out, and then check individually online with the manufacturer about allergens. You just saved me alot of work! Thank you 🙂
