Schools, camps and some venues require a nut-free candy table, and they may ask you to prove it. As a vendor you can't certify a candy yourself; the proof comes from the manufacturer, through the label on the package and the allergen statement it publishes.
What counts as proof
| Proof | Where to get it |
|---|---|
| The package label | Ingredients and any "contains" or "may contain" warnings; keep one bag of each candy |
| The manufacturer's allergen statement | Usually on the brand's website or available from its customer service |
| A written reply from the manufacturer | Email customer service and ask whether the product and its facility are free of peanuts and tree nuts |
Some brands publish detailed allergen information. Smarties Candy Company, for example, publishes allergen information for its candy on its website; always check the current statement before relying on it.
Keep a simple allergen folder
- One page per candy: product name, a photo of the label, and the manufacturer's statement or email, with the date.
- Re-check each season: recipes and factories change.
- Bring the folder to the event, along with one unopened bag of each candy.
- Label every jar with the candy name and its allergens.
