best Halloween candy for nut allergies?

Looking for suggestions for candy that is safe to give out to kids with nut allergies.  I've noticed that many candies that don't include nuts have warnings that they may not be nut-free.

Thanks

Target has the 290-piece bags with solely Laffy-Taffy, Gobstoppers, Nerds and Sweet-tarts and a 270-piece bag with Nerds, Swee-tarts, and Bottle Caps.  All are nut free; the ingredients for most say "may contain egg" and the Laffy Taffy contains soy. 

Problem with some candies that do not contain nuts as an ingredient is that they may be manufactured at a facility where candies containing nuts are also made thus allowing for cross contamination.  Boxes of raisins and small toys are the safest way to go.

 I was looking for the "Manufactured in in a facility that processes tree nuts" on the bags but did not see it.

FWIW, I’ve just gone through an environmental health audit (kitchen/dining room safety) for work, so I’m really edgy about all of this - and earlier this year, the Australian and New Zealand Allergen Collaborative changed our Food Standard due to feedback I supplied in January. 

There’s been a lot of recalls over the last couple of months, in imported (Asia, Europe, USA, even NZ and Australia) confectionery lines, due to undeclared allergens carried in dyes, fillers and flavours. It’s been suggested by allergists that the safest way to handle ‘treats’ is to stay as natural and fresh as you can. 

Lanky:  I doubt that all or even many candies which are nut free but manufactured in a facility which also makes candies containing nuts have any statement on the bag or wrapper warning of the possibility of cross contamination.  Some may have a phone number to call for additional information or a website where this information can be obtained.

google is your friend

I miss the 1970s.

 Well the OP can only do the best he/she can do within reasonable means with regard to dispensing copious amounts of free treats.  A child broadly trick-or-treating is going to receive lethal amounts of nut-laden chocolate confectionery regardless.  It's a sad world in which we live.

 What is it about the 1970s that you miss? Why is it sad that we now know to be careful about allergies?

 As a parent who raised a child with numerous food allergies (chocolate being one), I understand the concern both for the parent of a child who may be in danger of receiving candy poisonous to them (in this case nuts) and for the host looking to dispense safe candy to trick or treaters who may have food allergies/sensitivities unknown to the dispenser of Halloween treats.  This year there is a blue pumpkin movement, not sure if it is widely followed in Maplewood, allowing parents and children to identify those homes giving out allergy friendly treats by the blue pumpkin displayed by the front door of participating homes.

A couple things - I genuinely posted a couple options for bags of over 500 candies that are probably 99% safe for people with nut/chocolate allergies.  But apparently even those aren't safe according to so posters?  It seems that people have gotten a little too extreme.  If one is that sensitive to commonly-produced, distributed and consumed foods, that person probably should not be broadly trick-or-treating or at least have an adult that filters their haul closely.  Secondly, I am genuinely ignorant as to why the extreme allergy issue seems to be a relatively recent (last 20 years) problem vs 40 years ago.  

@lanky, what kind of sensitivity are you talking about? Are you talking about people who are concerned more than they should be? Or are you talking about extreme food allergies? Complaining about food allergies doesn't make them go away. Nor should anyone assume that they are imagined allergies. Food allergies are a lot more common than they were, and no one knows why, but they are, for the most part, not imagined. Some people think they're allergic or sensitive to things such as gluten, but when someone can go into anaphylactic shock from a food, don't dismiss their concerns. As a neighbor giving out candy, you are not responsible for a trick or treater's health. If a kid has a serious allergy, he trained or supervised to avoid allergens.

I'm not dismissing concerns, my son has an allergy to tree nuts so we have absurdly-priced epi-pens in our home.  We were hiking last year and his mom foolishly let him feed cashews to the squirrels which made him swell up (he didn't eat any, just strew them about).  But he ate his fair share of swee'tarts last night and was fine.
