Make sure your children’s Halloween Candy is safe

Introduction

It’s the year when kids are dressed up and ready to trick or treat. While it can be tempting to let your little ones grab a handful of treats before they go out, remember that not all sweets are safe for children. It’s essential to make sure the candy you give them is labeled with a UPC and that it hasn’t expired. The best way to do this is by immediately checking the wrappers after buying them at the store or another place where they were packaged. If there is no date on your candy wrapper (and some stores won’t put them on), throw out any unwrapped candies as soon as possible because they may have been tampered with by someone else before being given out! Also, tell your children not to accept homemade treats from anyone but family members – if someone hands them something homemade, then make sure it doesn’t have any choking hazards before allowing them to eat anything from those strangers’ hands!

Check the candies wrappers right away

The first thing to do is check the wrappers for signs of tampering. Look for:

• Dents or tears in the wrapper.
• Sticky residue or discoloration on the wrapper.
• Any other unusual marks that could indicate something has been added to it (like tape, glue, or anything else).

Throw out any unwrapped candy and treats

• Throw out any unwrapped candy and treats. This includes anything not in its original wrapper, even if it’s only been opened a little bit.
• Throw out any candy that has been opened. If you or your kids have already tried a piece of the sweet, throw it out as well; there’s no point in keeping around a half-eaten bag of Skittles!
• Throw out any candy that is broken or damaged. If something looks suspicious (like an orange-colored Snickers bar), don’t eat it—throw it away instead!

Tell your child not to accept homemade treats

If you’re the type of person who makes homemade treats for Halloween, make sure that your goodies are safe. The FDA reports that some homemade candy has been contaminated with bacteria or other harmful substances. Make sure to read all labels before giving out any candy—if it doesn’t say “Halloween Candy” on it, then maybe don’t risk it!

Consider making a few batches of homemade chocolate chip cookies to hand out instead – that way, everyone wins!

Check all treats for choking hazards

• Make sure all treats are safe. Check for small pieces, hard candy, and anything that could be a choking hazard.
• When handing out the candy, don’t let your children eat it until you’ve checked it for safety.

Tell your kids not to eat candy until they’ve returned home

• Tell your kids not to eat candy until they’ve returned home.
• If they do eat some, make sure they brush their teeth.
• Make sure they eat only a little candy.
• Please ensure the candy is fresh and has a reasonable expiration date (not expired).
