Nerds are a relatively cheap Halloween candy free from most of the top eight major allergens. The grape and strawberry combination are some of the most popular, but Nerds also come in other flavor combinations like watermelon and cherry. Although the ingredients on the package contain dextrose, sugar, malic acid, corn syrup, natural flavors, carnauba wax, carmine color, and food colorings, other products produced by the company share manufacturing equipment with eggs, so if that’s something that could trigger an allergic reaction for you or your kid, stay away from these. But for all other allergen-conscious folks, enjoy these Nerds and appreciate the crunchy texture and sheer confectionary genius of the tiny sugar pebbles.
