What to watch out for

  • "May contain nuts" or "made in a facility with peanuts or tree nuts" warnings.
  • Fun-size and mini versions, which are sometimes made on different lines than full-size bars.
  • Open, homemade, or unlabeled treats, especially while trick-or-treating.
  • Mixed variety bags. One safe candy in the bag does not mean every candy is.

Tips for a safer Halloween

  • Put out a teal pumpkin. The Teal Pumpkin Project, started by FARE, signals that your house offers non-food treats. Stickers, glow sticks, and mini toys keep every kid included.
  • Do a candy swap. When your child gets home, trade anything questionable for treats you already know are safe.
  • Pack your own stash for school parties and neighborhood events.
  • Read every label, even on candy you've trusted for years.
  • Carry epinephrine if your child has been prescribed it, including on the trick-or-treat route.
