Ok, so we know that we should never rely on lists on the internet when it comes to gluten free….right?  YES, you should NOT rely on internet lists for gluten free halloween candy!  ALWAYS rely on your label reading skills as taught by your Dietitian or from the free glutenfree 101 series from the Canadian Celiac Association.

selena de vries 2018 gluten free halloween listIn fact, the list of gluten free candy below was determined by me going into the grocery store and reading the ingredient lists.  If you are not confident in reading ingredients lists for gluten, you may want to download my cheat sheet below.

So now that we have gotten that little tidbit of information out of the way, I get this request from clients ALL THE TIME, year after year, for a list of safe, gluten free candies.  So while I encourage all of my clients to read labels appropriately as this is the most safe option, I have compiled a short list of traditional halloween candies that are gluten free as well as some gluten free newcomers!

Also, please note, that I am only speaking to the gluten free status of the products listed below, not the ‘healthiness’ of them.
