We are often asked how to know if a candy is safe. Whether it’s for a kid or even you, we know how important it is to be able to still enjoy things even when you can’t have a particular ingredient – in this case dairy.
Unless you’ve been dairy free your entire life or for a long part of it, you are likely here wondering if you can still have your favorite candy. Now, I won’t sugarcoat anything. There are going to be many traditional candies that are not allergen-friendly.
However, the good news is there are actually dozens of dairy free candy options for Halloween.
Whether you have a dairy allergy or you gave up dairy for another reason, this ultimate list of dairy free candy options will be the perfect guide to knowing everything that you can safely have!

How to easily spot an allergen-friendly house when trick-or-treating?
Over the last few years, the teal pumpkin project has really been gaining traction. Essentially, it’s a way for parents with children that have food allergies to know that they can go to this house and find safe options for their children. Did you know that 1 in 13 children have a food allergy? That’s roughly two kids in every classroom. Luckily, families have it even easier this year as many big-box stores are making it even easier to find teal pumpkins with their store bought reusable options.
Where Can I Buy a Teal Pumpkin?
Want to make sure that people know your house is allergen-friendly? All you have to do is place a teal pumpkin outside your house. Of course, you can easily paint a pumpkin teal, but if you are looking for an easier option or one that is reusable, you can purchase a teal pumpkin or teal pumpkin decorations from the following stores:
- Amazon
- Target
- Walmart
- Michaels
- JOANN
- Etsy
- Oriental Trading
