Halloween is a magical time for kids from dressing up as their favourite superheroes and spooky creatures to the excitement of trick-or-treating. But for families managing food allergies, it can also be one of the most stressful nights of the year.
With common allergens lurking in many popular candies and treats, it’s crucial to have a game plan in place. The good news? With a little preparation and the right products on hand, Halloween can be just as safe as it is fun.
Here’s how to keep children with food allergies safe this Halloween, plus some allergy-friendly treat options they’ll love!
Why Halloween Can Be Tricky for Allergy Families
Many of the treats handed out during Halloween contain common allergens such as:
-
Peanuts and tree nuts
-
Dairy
-
Eggs
-
Gluten/wheat
-
Soy
Even mini or fun-size versions of popular treats can have different ingredients than their full-size counterparts. Worse still, most Halloween treats come without clear ingredient labels, making it nearly impossible to check on the spot.
Our Top Tips this Halloween:
1. Start with a Plan
Before the big night, talk to your child about their allergies and why it’s important not to eat anything before checking it with a trusted adult. Empower them with knowledge, this builds confidence and safety awareness.
2. Bring Your Own Allergy-Safe Treats
Whether you’re heading to a party or joining in on trick-or-treating, bring a stash of safe snacks so your child never feels left out. Allergen-safe products like our Magibles and Kids Snack Bars are perfect alternatives tasty, safe, and easy to carry.
3. Practice the “Trade-In” System
Set up a trade-in system where your child can swap unsafe treats for safe ones. You can even make it exciting by letting them “buy” a toy or a special snack with their haul of unsafe sweets and chocolate.
4. Teal Pumpkin Project
Look out for (or participate in!) the Teal Pumpkin Project, where homes that display a teal pumpkin offer non-food or allergy-safe treats. It’s a great initiative that promotes inclusion for all children.
5. Check All Treats Together
Make it a tradition to go through the treat bag together at the end of the night. Set aside any sweets or chocolate without labels or containing allergens, and replace them with your allergen safe alternatives.
