        Canada makes special nut-free candy prepared separately by law. The US does not. Even going to a restaurant is scary

        You're supposed to put out a teal pumpkin on your doorstep to indicate that your treats are nut-free.

        if wrappers are sound i would say yes. more important is if the facility that made the candy also made candy with nuts. My opinion

        Yes, she is celiac (not really allergy, but close enough for Halloween). Treats are small toys and similar

        Actually, we kept it pretty small. Candy from friends/family. It's been a few years... she's 24 now. We were on our own.

        The whole purple/blue pumpkin thing wasn't a thing. We did a lot of awareness stuff at her school. Epi-Pen training, what anaphylaxis is...
