Me, too, and since candy corn is one of my favorite seasonal treats, I've
found that Brach's does NOT have egg in it.  Most of the other brands do.
I have not called the company to verify this, but it's not listed on the
package, and Alyssa doesn't react to it.

It's one more thing that is OK for Alyssa IF and ONLY IF I bring it (to school,
parties, etc).  Candy corn in general is NOT safe for her.  Just like most
things that have hidden dairy... but few suspect candy corn has egg whites!
