Vegan Halloween Candy
If you buy candy off this list, just make sure to check for the most common non-vegan ingredients in candy:
- Gelatin – created using animal skin, tendons, cartilage, and/or bones.
- Carmine – red pigment created from crushed female cochineal insects.
- Confectioner’s Glaze – made from excretions of certain insects.
Ingredients can change at any time, so it’s best to always check the label.

Skittles have been animal-free since 2010 when they started to no longer use gelatin.
