Why can fun-size Halloween candy be tricky for carb counting?

Many have no Nutrition Facts label on the wrapper.

  1. It has no carbs
  2. Many lack a Nutrition Facts label ✔
  3. It's always sugar free

Why: ADA notes many fun-size candies don't have a Nutrition Facts label. Look up the carb info online ahead of time so favorite treats can fit into your eating plan.

Huh, didn't know that: ADA suggests trading extra candy for a special activity, small toy or movie night.
