Health Canada recommends reminding your children not to accept, or especially eat, anything that isn’t commercially wrapped.

Common food allergens found in candy are peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat, milk and eggs.

If there are allergies in your household, Health Canada recommends carefully reading the labels on treats.

Only give your child candies that clearly list their ingredients, and avoid products with warning labels.
