INSPECT AND ENJOY

- No eating candy until it has been inspected at home- Make a clear rule that they may not eat any candy until you get home and you can inspect their collection. Tip: As my kids collect their candy in a bucket, they will dump it into a large bag through out the night that I hold.
- Inspect the candy collection as soon as you get home- The following items and candies should be on your radar:
- Lumpy, loose, torn, punctured, or discolored wrappers
- Candy that is not in its original packaging or looks to have been tampered with
- Homemade treats from strangers
- Candy that has expired
- If you sincerely feel uneasy about the candy your child received, get rid of their loot and replace it with prebought backup candy.
- Remove choking hazards- This is all depending on your child’s age. For younger children, remove candies that are too small, chewy or hard . Example: bubble gum, Tootsie Rolls, and jawbreaker.
- Always report suspicious sugars to the police. Report anything hazardous immediately to your local police department.
