Halloween gifts for kids with food allergies

Let's face it, all kids love to trick or treat on Halloween. One of the problems is that more than 3 million American children have food allergies. Just one bite of some types of candy can be life-threatening. No amount of ghosts or scary ghouls pose such a scare as hidden peanuts, milk in a candy product, or all sorts of treats without ingredient labels, according to the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network.

Unfortunately, about 100 Americans, usually children, die each year from food-induced allergic reaction, according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.


Experts say eight foods are the most common food-allergy culprits: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, soy and wheat.

Parents of food-allergic children must read every candy label in their child's Halloween bag to ensure their child's safety, although labeling is getting better and society is more aware, peanut allergen-contamination of nonpeanut containing foods is still a possibility.

Always read the ingredients of a product when you purchase it (and ONLY purchase food items that label the ingredients).....read the label AGAIN when you put it away, and read it yet AGAIN when you serve it.

Although many children outgrow milk, egg, and wheat allergies, sensitivity to tree nuts or shellfish may be a lifelong issue.
