Reply to comment by Unusual_Lemon_2453 in LPT: if you’re trick or treating with a child with food allergies, bring your own candy! by 99badwolfbaloons

The child is three. As they get older your plan is wonderful but not for a three year old.

Absolutely. And even at three he has a developing understanding of ‘safe’ and ‘unsafe’ foods for him. But it is very hard for people to understand who don’t deal with it, you absolutely have to read the label. You can never give a kid with allergies unlabeled foods, even if they’ve had the food before. Halloween candy is usually not individually labeled, which is why we buy our own.
