Halloween Safety Tips

FAAN’s Trick-or-Treat for Food Allergy lets kids join in the Halloween fun while raising food allergy awareness.

Safety First

When kids are out collecting money and raising awareness through Trick-or-Treat for Food Allergy, safety must come first. Here are a few tips to help you keep your family members safe on Halloween:

Safety Tips From FAAN

  • Have your trick-or-treater eat dinner before going out on Halloween night, so that he or she is not tempted by hunger to eat a treat!
  • Make sure your child carries her medicines while trick-or-treating, in case a reaction occurs.
  • Accompany your child trick-or-treating, or, if he or she is old enough to go without an adult, have him or her go with friends who know about his or her food allergy.

Tips for Trick or Treating With Food Allergies

  • If your child will collect candy on Halloween, have something special ready to trade for the candy he or she can’t eat.
  • Give the treats your child cannot eat to other children – for example, at a local hospital or through a food bank.
  • Pass out nonfood items, such as Halloween stickers or small toys, to trick-or-treaters to promote food allergy awareness. Encourage your neighbors to do this as well.
