Mythbuster – Do trick-or-treat sized candies/chocolates always have the same ingredient list as the full-sized versions?

FACT: Trick-or-treat sized candies and chocolates may not always have the same ingredient list as the full-sized product.

Many companies create a Halloween edition of their products, usually a smaller sized version of the product, which can sometimes be distinguished by different packaging with fun Halloween colours and/or designs. Although the product itself may look the same, the ingredients may differ from the full-sized version, as the Halloween version may be manufactured in a different facility. It is important to read the ingredient label carefully from start to finish, including any “may contain” statements, on all product sizes and versions, even if it has been “safe” in the past. Learn how to do the “tr iple check” and call manufacturers directly if you have any questions on the product ingredients.
