I have found a great website about Halloween candy safety for allergic children thanks to Jane Anne at Gravity of Motion.
It is Allergy Free Halloween .
For those of you that pass out candy, please go and look at this site and get some ideas. They have a list of safe candy that you can pass out. As a parent of a child who is allergic to nuts, it can be a very scary time when candy is ever involved. For the parent and the child. And if your child is allergic, PLEASE check the labels that your children get. Just because it is usually safe doesn't mean that it will be during Halloween. Sometimes it is made and packaged differently during Halloween or different holidays.
This is the first year that we will not be going trick-or-treating. We will be enjoying a Fall Festival at our local park on Nov. 1st, but there will still be candy and we will still have to be careful.
Thanks for taking the time to read this!

I'll have to go check out that site. I'm glad you mentioned it on my blog. I thought I had you on my google reader but when I went to check you were not (you are now! :o)
Honestly, for our family, I don't trust what others give her even if they say it's dairy free.
After halloween, she turns in all her candy and I give her the same amount of dairy free treats. She has never seemed to mind that. In fact I think she likes it because she usually gets to pick it out herself.
The holidays always scare me. Even with family. Especially those holidays that where food is central. YIKES!
Just stopped by from gravity in motion. Thanks for spreading the word about the allergy free halloween.
Have a blessed evening.
