Are Marshmallows Safe for kids with Allergies?

It’s not worth the risk, so most foods are banned from school parties. Maybe there is still a chance, with specific food items – in any school. I know that on occasion, our school’s room moms have cleared some food-related games with the nurse (who usually has the master list of the kid’s allergies in her care) and have been given the green light for some games involving food. With the proper protocol taken, marshmallows might be one of those foods that have a chance of being allowed at school parties. 

As a matter of fact, the Campfire brand marshmallows states that it is gluten-free, nut-free, dairy-free, wheat-free, egg-free, etc… Here’s a link to their statement about allergies: https://www.campfiremarshmallows.com/allergen-statement/

Kraft marshmallow brand also has an allergy-free check for most allergens. Here’s their link: https://allergeninside.com/foods/ingredients/600699661027/Kraft-JetPuffed-Marshmallows

*Note- Although, marshmallows, like Campfire brand marshmallows are approved by snack safe sites, not 100% of allergens are listed, so please be diligent with your group of kiddos. If you do get the green light, I’d still inform parents ahead of time and maybe even have them sign off on it.

Another alternative would be to host your own Halloween party and play this game at home.
