When your child has a food allergy, trick-or-treating for Halloween can be tricky. Since one in 13 kids has a food allergy, it’s always nice if you can give out candy that most costumed kids can enjoy. People now put a teal pumpkin outside to let families know that they’re also offering non-food treats. And if you want to pass out candy that most kids with food allergies can still enjoy, here are some safe choices.
- Almond Joy - Tasty candy bars with coconut and almonds are no good for nut allergy sufferers, but they’re ideal for kids with egg allergies.
