Halloween Candy

[JustCan]

Hi All! Walmart just set up an entire aisle of Halloween candy and I wanted to see if anyone had up to date information on what's safe for us. I know Hershey and M&M/Mars haven't been as helpful as in the past but if anyone's called any of the companies lately or if you've had a reaction to a certain candy, I'd love to hear about it. There seems to be a lot of conflicting information out there right now. Thanks and happy early Halloween!!

You can be on the look out for the R.O.C.K candy list. They issue a current candy list around halloween time.

Here is a 2007 Listing:

I would also keep an eye out for the list, but in the U.S., if it doesn't list wheat or malt, it's almost certainly gluten-free. It definitely won't have hidden rye.

None of that is any guarantee about possible CC.

The last time I contacted Mars they said that they disclose all gluten in their ingredients. I think that's the best response to get from a company. Has it changed? I call all the mainstream candy companies each year. (I'll post my results when I get around to it. Most likely mid next week.) I do appreciate the ROCK list, but I find it to be incomplete and sometimes the information is a year or two old if I remember correctly. Anyway, I like to get information directly from the companies. I'm annal in that way.
