Candy safety

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Halloween food safety tips for parents:

  • Feed children a light meal or snack before they go out, and ask them to wait until they get home so you can check their treats before they eat any.
  • Do not let children eat anything that is not commercially wrapped. Throw away anything with signs of tampering, such as pinholes, tears in wrappers or an unusual appearance.
  • If your child has a food allergy, check labels, and do not allow home-baked goods.
  • Serve only pasteurized juice or cider at parties.
