🤝 What are common allergens in candies?

Health Canada recognizes 11 priority allergens. Here are those most commonly found in commercial candies:

🔍 Why is it so difficult to find allergen-free candies?

Three main reasons:

1. Cross-contamination in factories. Even if a candy doesn't have nuts in its recipe, if it's produced in a factory that uses them, there's a risk.
2. Animal gelatin. The vast majority of soft candies (gummies, bears, Dragibus) contain it. Not suitable for vegans or several religious diets.
3. Deceptive marketing. "Natural," "artisan" doesn't mean "allergen-free." Always check the full list.

✅ How to check if a candy is truly safe?

• Read the complete ingredient list — not just the visual or the name
• Look for "May contain traces of..." warnings — indicates a risk of cross-contamination
• Check the manufacturing environment — ask the seller if the factory processes other allergens
• For severe allergies — contact the manufacturer directly to confirm
• Be wary of imported candies — labeling standards vary by country
