]]>Food allergies are life-altering, and sometimes life-threatening for children and adults. What many do not realize is that this is a growing public health issue among children in the United States. One out of every 13 children has a food allergy, which equates to two children in each classroom.
FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education) is helping families enjoy a safer Halloween with a searchable teal pumpkin map, tips and resources. Find an allergy-friendly home near you and participate in the Teal Pumpkin Project. Put your house on the map here.
If you see a teal pumpkin on someone’s doorstep (or sign of a teal pumpkin), it means there are safe, non-food treats available, such as glow sticks or small toys.
YumEarth is proud to make allergy-friendly and tasty treats so that everyone can be included. Our candies range from lollipops to gummy bears and more. Shop our treats online here or find a store near you here.
]]>Having food allergies can be tricky during Halloween season. To help make it a little bit easier, I have shared some allergy friendly tips you can follow to ensure that your Halloween is no tricks and all treats!
The older my kids get, the more I realize how many events take place BEFORE Halloween. There is always an abundance of fall festivals, pumpkin patches, and trunk-or-treat events during the month of October. Use these events as a way to bring awareness to your community!
Take advantage of these gatherings by passing out flyers with examples of safe treats from an allergy-friendly brand such as YumEarth. You could even attach a lollipop or giggles snack pack to the flyer for added fun! We have also created ‘teal pumpkin paint kits’ for our neighbors. This allows them to add teal to one of their own pumpkins to show that they’re including all kids this season.
If you spot a house on Halloween night that has a teal pumpkin on the porch, there’s a good chance it has a safe treat waiting for you! For years, teal pumpkins have symbolized an allergy-friendly house. While not everyone with safe treats places a teal pumpkin out, it’s a good starting point. You can also visit FARE’s website to see a map of registered allergy-friendly houses. This map makes it super helpful to know exactly where to find treats that are safe. You can even register your own house so others will know that you’re passing out gluten-free, nut-free, and delicious YumEarth candy!
This one should be easy since skeletons, ballerinas, and superheroes never trick-or-treat alone! Talk to a friend or family member ahead of time about which candies are safe for you and, of course, which candies you like. When you are offered candy, your buddy will pick a safe candy and put it in your bucket or bag. This way you can avoid the added risk of touching something that’s unsafe. You can also talk with your neighbors ahead of time to make sure they have a safe option for your child.
We do this every year in our house! Once all of the fun has been had, we come home and the kids dump their candy out. We sort the candy into two piles- safe and unsafe. After many years in the allergy world and a ton of ingredient research, our candy is pretty easy to sort through, especially when we find our favorite safe brands, like YumEarth, in the mix.
However, we all know that ingredients can change so it is still important to double check piece by piece. My personal favorite way to check ingredients is through the Spokin app. It’s free to download, user-friendly, and provides accurate information on brands, products, ingredients, and even manufacturing policies. Spokin even comes out with a Halloween candy guide each year! YumEarth is one of their verified brands, which is just another reason to love all of their products. Remember, if you’re hesitant or having doubts, put it in the unsafe pile.
If you’re like us, you’ll end up with a good amount of candy that isn’t safe to eat. Instead of throwing it out, try and donate it to a good cause like Treats for Troops, Operation Gratitude, or Ronald McDonald House.
One of our favorite Halloween traditions is to have the kids trade some of their candy for an extra special treat. Since we are an allergy household, but still love our candy, the kids keep their safe candy and we trade only the unsafe candy for a treat. The unsafe candy is traded for a gift, like art supplies or legos, or an activity, like a trip to the movie theater or a play date with a friend. It can also be traded for a fresh bag of your favorite organic candies like YumEarth gummy bears or chewys!
I hope you’ll find these tips helpful this spooky season. For more helpful tips please visit FARE's website.
Have a safe and happy Halloween!

I love using YumEarth's candy to make Valentine's Day fun (and sweet) for everyone! That's because it's free from the top 9 allergens. Here are three of my favorite ways to get started with your Valentine’s Day celebration!
A Valentine’s Day candy board is the perfect idea for any Valentine’s Day themed party, movie night, or family game night!
If you’re looking for an allergy friendly classroom Valentine’s Day idea for kids, this is it! ANY free printable will work, and you can even buy some inexpensive cute ones on Etsy too. I personally love word searches, mazes, etc. Just don’t forget the perfect finishing touch – attaching it to allergy friendly, YumEarth candies! YumEarth candy makes for the BEST choice for my kids because they are free from the top 9 allergens with no artificial dyes or high fructose corn syrup, not to mention delicious! What more could any kid want for their Valentine?
To make these, simply cut out your printable on card stock and stuff your mini envelope with a packet of your favorite YumEarth Valentine's Day Candy and card! If you want to include a candy that doesn’t fit in your envelope, you can always hole punch the bag and envelope and string it together too! It’s simple, but also the perfect Valentine for any classroom!
Another fun and easy idea that will be sure to get your kids excited about Valentine’s Day is a Valentine’s themed lunchbox. This idea is completely top 9 free and perfect for any food allergy kiddo or nut free school this Valentine’s Day.
Making the sandwich is easy! I cut the top piece of bread to look like an envelope (a triangle) and made the sandwich and covered it with the bread pieces I cut. I used a YumEarth Heart Shaped Gummies to “seal” my envelope. For the raspberries, I simply stuffed each one with a top 9 free white chocolate chip. This lunch is so quick to create, and my kids absolutely adored it!
I hope you enjoyed reading how to have an allergy friendly Valentine’s Day with your kids, and that you are able to try some of the ideas out for yourself! If you’re still hungry for more Valentine’s Day ideas, take a look at 5 Way to Celebrate Valentine’s with Your Kids, 3 DIY Valentine’s Day Candy Gift Ideas, or my other fun Valentine’s Day recipes, and don’t forget to stock up on YumEarth Organic allergy friendly Valentine’s Day candy online at yumearth.com or find them at your nearest store today!

Whether for a holiday gathering or at home with the kids, a hot chocolate charcuterie board is a fun and elegant way to spice up your hot chocolate game. It’s easy to keep this safe for your family and friends by only including your favorite allergy-friendly treats. Enjoy!
YumEarth Choco Yums (any flavor)
Equal Exchange Organic Dark Hot Chocolate Mix
Plant Based Milk of Choice
Dandies Vegan Marshmallows (Large and/or Minis)
Vegan Whipped Cream
Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate Chips
Emmy’s Organics Cookies
Made Good Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cinnamon Sticks
Sprinkles
Choose your board. You can use a serving tray, cutting board, or even just a large dish.
Choose your ingredients. Start with a hot chocolate mix (I love Equal Exchange Organic Dark Hot Chocolate Mix) and a plant based milk (I use soy) and design from there. My favorites are listed above - YumEarth Holiday Organic Candy Canes, Dandies Vegan Marshmallows (Large and/or Minis), Vegan Whipped Cream, Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate Chips, Emmy’s Organics Cookies, Made Good Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies, Cinnamon Sticks and Sprinkles, but you can get creative here with your favorites.
Style. Place your bowls. Smaller items and those that require a spoon to scoop up should be put in bowls. Start with your hot chocolate mix (and include a tablespoon for easy measuring), mini chocolate chips and Choco Yums. Add in your other toppings directly onto the board, filling in the spaces between the bowls.
Enjoy! Scoop your mix into your mugs, mix with plant based milk or water, heat up, and top with your favorite toppings!
Letting a YumEarth Holiday Organic Candy Cane dissolve into my hot chocolate (voila, peppermint hot chocolate!) along with some mini marshmallows and whipped cream is my favorite way to enjoy a hot chocolate this season. Share your favorites and photos of your allergy-friendly hot chocolate charcuterie board with us on social media.
