Updated Gluten-Free Candy List

Halloween Candy List Gluten-Free Allergen-Free 2011

Posted By Alison On Oct 4, 2011 @ In Candy, Halloween Candy Lists, Holidays/Special Events, Products | 9 Comments

The gluten-free allergen-free Halloween candy list is here! I’ve updated the list to reflect ingredient changes, current manufacturers statements by web/phone, and I added some phone numbers so you don’t have to search them yourself if you have a question.

Each candy shows if the ingredients contain wheat/gluten, milk (represents all dairy), soy, egg, nuts, or peanuts (6 of the top 8 allergens — fish and shellfish are not included since I have not found this to be a concern with candy). I do not include coconut as a tree nut and have not listed coconut as an allergen. To print this list, click on the Print icon above the title. (If you don’t see the print icon, click on the title of the article first.)

Note: Please, as always, double check ingredients and also check with the child’s parents before giving them any candy or allowing them to eat anything! I will not be held liable for any accident occurring due to the use of this list. It 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.

Please keep in mind that due to the fact that most of the ingredients are agricultural products and could be processed on equipment that may also handle products containing these items, we cannot make the claim that our products are free of said items.

Ingredients free of: wheat/gluten, milk, nuts, peanuts, egg
Ingredients contain: soy (see note below)

Gluten-Free and Allergen Info (via web Sept 2011): We make every effort to make sure consumers can be 100%confident that our products are free of the top common allergens, including;gluten, wheat, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, fish and shellfish* Our products, except Circus Peanuts, may contain trace amounts of soy oil, a processing aid in making candy. Thesoy oil has been refined, bleached and deodorized, a process that removes the protein that can cause an allergicreaction. Because individual sensitivities vary, however, we have chosen to list the soy oil.**Dum Dum Chewy Pops made in the USA are free of peanuts, tree nuts, egg, gluten, and milk. Dum Dum ChewyPops made in Brazil are manufactured in a facility where peanuts and milk are used in the manufacturing of otherproducts. Please check the back panel for country of origin and allergen statement. The gum base used in Dum DumGum Pops is manufactured on the same equipment as products with soy.

5 ways we make sure our products are allergy free.

1. Our manufacturing facilities are 100% free of gluten (from wheat, barley and rye), dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, fish and shellfish.

2. All Spangler Candy products are made on dedicated manufacturing equipment.

3. We thoroughly clean every manufacturing line, every day.

4. We notify all of our suppliers about our allergen standards. We also request an annual allergen report from each supplier to verify that the ingredients they provide are allergy free.

5. At least twice a year, all of our products are tested for allergens by an independent food lab.

In today’s candy market it is a regular practice for retailers to have their own store’s private label bag (bags sold at that store only). Some of these private label bags contain Spangler lollipops and/or Circus Peanuts, due to our good quality and reputation. In most of these situations, we do not pack these items ourselves but the retailer or a customer of ours purchases and repackages our items.

These are the same quality pops that we provide in our own Spangler branded bags, but the allergen free claim may be different as these companies often package other items containing peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, wheat gluten, eggs, fish, shellfish, or soy in their facilities. Trace elements of these allergens could come into contact with our items.

To be confident that you are getting an allergen-free Spangler candy item, always check the back of the item you are purchasing for the allergen statement. Spangler Candy bags manufactured and packaged in our facility will have the following identifiers:

(1) Spangler logo on the front of the bag.

(2) Graphics of bag as shown on the Spangler Candy company website at www.spanglercandy.com.

(3) Current Spangler allergen statement: “This product does not contain peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, or gluten. It has been manufactured on dedicated equipment.”

(4) Address line on the back of the bag: Manufactured by Spangler Candy Company, Bryan, Ohio, 43506 USA.

(5) UPC code begins with “0 30800″. This is the code for our manufacturing facility.

Allergen Info (via email Sept 2011):
We consider “gluten free” to mean no gluten ingredients are in the product, whether directly added, or potentially present due to cross-contact. In other words, if a product label has an allergen advisory statement such as “made on equipment” or “facility that also processes wheat etc… “, we do not consider that product to be gluten free. It is important to always read product labels/packaging for the most accurate information.

At the end of this email, I have included a link to our gluten free product list. I hope that you find this list to be helpful!

Also, labeling regulations require that if any of the eight recognized known allergens are in the product, they must be listed in the ingredient statement. We always list the allergen by the common name.

Additionally, our factories, that use any of the recognized allergens as an ingredient, take all precautions to avoid cross contact of products that do not contain them. We always add a cautionary statement at the end of our packaging ingredient listing if a product is made on the same line or factory of those products containing a recognized allergen. It is recommended that you always check the label before purchasing a product.

Allergen Info (via web Oct 2011): Our entire selection is completely safe for those with any tree nut or peanut allergy. We do not use any coconut or sesame products in any of our processes.

Regarding dairy: Although our solid dark chocolate items do not contain any dairy ingredients, they are processed on shared dairy equipment and are labeled as such. Additionally, most of the items that we make are in milk chocolate and we always have lots of dairy ingredients around in the same production area so we could not consider our solid dark chocolate items to be truly dairy free. If the dairy allergy in question is more than a mild one and you have concerns about possible dairy traces, we would not recommend our solid dark chocolate items.

Regarding eggs: We do make some products that contain egg ingredients. The Orange-Apricot truffles, orange creams and the raspberry creams as well as our fudge all contain eggs or egg products as an ingredient. All of our other filled (boxed) chocolates as well as the mini twist pretzels are processed on the same equipment. All of our solid chocolate items, in both milk chocolate and dark chocolate, are processed on different equipment than is used for the egg containing chocolates. Our solid chocolate items include the chocolate bars, pops, coins, drops, chips, bugs and holiday novelty items. The Skippers and Jelly Beans are also free of contact with egg ingredients.

Regarding soy: All of our products contain soy lecithin as an ingredient. Our Granola Bars contain roasted soybeans as an ingredient. MetaBall is processed and packaged on the same equipment.
