Let your kids know about these Halloween candy safety tips before they come home with a bag of candy half of which has been opened and munched.

  • Always inspect candy carefully before eating it and never eat candy that has been opened...even if you think you opened it.
  • Although fruit is a healthy snack, don't bite into an apple or any other fruit or veggies, like carrot sticks, unless you know the people that gave them to you.
  • Only consume baked goods or similar treats from people or homes that you know.
  • Try and eat a healthy meal before going out trick or treating.
  • Consider giving your kids a daily candy limit, starting with Halloween night, so they're not completely sugared up and moody throughout the week.
