Morris National

I'm still catching up with some companies who produce Halloween candies to find out if they are gluten free or not. I recently received this response from Morris National - it's the Just For Fun candy necklaces, bracelets and watches I was really wondering about, but the rest is good for future reference as well.

Here is what they said:

Here's a list of gluten free items:

• Marshies Pink and White marshmallows 200g bags
• Marshies Neapolitan Twists marshmallows 200g
• Sour Tongue Tinglers 1kg bag, 300 ct tub, 60 ct tub
• Sour Tongue Tinglers Bombs 150ct
• Marshies Hallow Mallow Marshmallows 300ct
• Gummy Zone Hot Dogs 60ct
• Gummy Zone Mini Burgers 60ct
• Gummy Zone Sour Mini Burgers 60ct
• Just For Fun candy necklaces, bracelets and watches
• Tangy Zangy Cubes

All of the above are free of gluten (wheat, rye, oats and barley) and free from gluten cross-contamination.

Halloween Candy

You may have noticed that I have been placing a strong emphasis on posting labeling policies for confectionary companies. With Halloween coming up I want to have a strong awareness of which products will be safe for BoyBee. I've purchased quite a variety of gluten free candy - it has actually been fun to shop for this year. Companies are getting much better with their labeling policies and they are also producing more gluten free products. If I find Halloween candy in the store that is labeled "gluten free" it is an automatic sale for me.

The plan this year is to go trick or treating and bring our loot home to sort through with BoyBee, explaining to him as we go which products are safe for him and which ones will hurt his belly. We'll give away the gluten candy to the later trick or treaters to get it out of the house, and we'll replace it with an assortment of safe candy that I've stocked up on. It should be a good learning experience for BoyBee.

For my gluten free Halloween candy list I am not going to provide you with specific products. Instead I am going to point you to the relevant posts for various confectionary companies so you can check the packages yourself as manufacturing processes are not always the same in different locals. I've covered a large portion of the market. I hope you find it useful.

Have a safe and happy Halloween!!!
