Please see website for an extensive listing of certified gluten-free products
http://www.csaceliacs.org/csa_recognition_seal.jsp
Local grocery store chains often provide a gluten-free list on request. Be aware that these lists
may NOT be updated seasonally.
Always verify labeling pertaining to your individual health conditions. Manufacturing can
change. Holiday candy is especially questionable. Seasonal products may be packaged in a
facility with additional cross contamination risks.
Candy ingredients may be gluten-free, however processing may result in the final product not
being gluten-free. This is similar to putting gluten-free bread in a gluten contaminated toaster.
The gluten-free bread would no longer be gluten-free because of cross contamination. For
people with celiac disease, it is crucial to prevent cross contamination.
If you are very sensitive to gluten, always choose a product that has the lowest ppm.
This symbol indicates gluten the product has been tested to indicate gluten present is less than 5 ppm
under the Celiac Support Association Recognition Seal Program.
Tips for Handling Halloween
Option 1
Use this list to buy candy that is gluten-free and put in a small Ziploc bag to take to a few selected
neighbors (3-4). Explain your child has a medical issue with food and ask them if they would mind giving
this bag of candy to your child instead of other candy. Label the bag with your child’s name. Remind
your child to say their name when they get to the neighbor’s house. You want to go up to the door with
them so the neighbor remembers the candy bag. Send thank you notes the next day.
Option 2
Put an assortment of different kinds of candy or gluten-free cookies in small Ziplocs ahead of time. Sort
through all candy when your child gets home and separate the non gluten-free candy from the glutenfree. Replace with your pre-packaged treats.
Barter candy for restaurant or store gift cards, dollar bills, movie tickets, skating rink passes, bowling
passes, or other items.
What to do with the leftover candy?
Donate extra candy to your school, place of employment, or food banks and shelters.
For School
Supply your child’s homeroom teacher with a gluten-free candy list several weeks ahead of time and ask
them to attach it to the parents’ newsletter. This will give the parents and teacher an opportunity to
provide gluten-free treats your child will love. Plan to plan ahead, and follow up with notes of
appreciation.

Contact the homeroom parent sponsor several weeks in advance to request that craft and party
activities are gluten-free, so your child can freely participate. Ask if anyone is bringing cupcakes
or cookies and offer to supply an appropriate substitution for your child.
Offer this gluten-free candy list to the teacher/sponsor as a helpful resource.
Volunteer to help with the Halloween party as a way to spend quality time with your child, and
create a positive experience for all.
Keep the gluten containing cakes and cookies separate from the gluten-free treats.
Prepare individually wrapped gluten-free Halloween treats for your child. To help party
planning, give the treats to the teacher a day or two early.
Emphasize the importance of hand washing as a daily routine, and before passing out candy to
avoid cross contamination.
CSA provides this information as a guide towards a gluten-free lifestyle.
