Vegan Halloween Candy available in Canada

What's not vegan about candy you wonder? Like many other snack products, animal-derived ingredients are commonly used in candy.

You'll want to look out for the following:

• gelatine (made from animal bones)
• beeswax (made by bees, just like honey not usually considered vegan)
• confectioners glaze (made from insects)
• carmine (red colouring agent made from insects)
• whey powder/lactose/casein (made from cow's milk)

Here's our list of vegan Halloween candy that's commonly available in Canada. We've included dedicated vegan candy from 100% vegan companies as well as candy that is accidentally vegan.

Please note this list has been compiled in September 2023. Ingredients change frequently. Please make sure to check ingredients when buying or consuming candies marked as 'accidentally vegan' in our list.

Also note that this list is by no means 'health focused'. Most of the accidentally vegan candy uses artificial colours and flavours. The focus of the list is solely products without animal-derived ingredients.
