Hi everyone. We're busy pulling together for our candy list. In the
meantime, Here's a neat post I found on the PhoenixCeliac message
board this morning ~Diana

I love it when a main stream company - actually any company -
continues to set the example on Truth in Labeling, Honesty in
manufacturing processes and Integrity thru professional ethics.
It's our health that's on the line. And Spangler Candy Company has
risen to the occasion in a stellar way, don't you think?

Spangler eliminates allergen worries
To ensure a safer Halloween for all, including children diagnosed with
allergies and intolerances to food ingredients, Spangler Candy Co.
takes particular care that its candies such as Dum Dum Pops, Saf-T-
Pops and Circus Peanuts are free of the most common allergens (wheat/
gluten, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, fish, shellfish and soy).
"We know how difficult birthday parties and holidays like Halloween
can be for children with allergies to foods like wheat, nuts and
dairy, or with food intolerances, like celiac disease," says Pat
Hurley, the company's director of technical services.
"Kids shouldn't have to feel left out of the fun. And parents
shouldn't have to worry that their children might eat something that
could be very harmful. We want everyone to be able to enjoy Halloween
and other special events."
As a result, Bryan, Ohio-based Spangler Candy Co. annually requires
its suppliers to certify that their ingredients meet its allergen
standards.
"We also adhere to very strict manufacturing processes," Hurley adds.
"Spangler Candy produces each one of its products on a dedicated line
and thoroughly cleans those lines daily. In a final safety check,
Spangler Candy has its finished products tested by an independent food
lab to ensure that they are free of any traces of unwanted
ingredients."
