• Read Labels: If you're handing out candy, read labels carefully. Many sweets may contain allergens like peanuts, tree nuts, or dairy. Consider offering allergen-free candy options that are available in stores.

• Offer Alternatives: Besides candy, have non-food treats available, such as temporary tattoos, bouncy balls, pencils, or miniature games. 

• Communicate with Parents: If you're hosting a Halloween party, communicate with parents about any food allergies their children may have. Ensure all snacks and treats are clearly labeled with ingredients.

• Safe Costume Makeup: If you plan to use costume makeup, choose hypoallergenic options and test a small patch on the skin before applying it to ensure no allergic reactions.



• Costume Materials: Opt for costumes made from natural fibers like cotton, less likely to cause skin irritation than synthetic materials.

• Allergy-Friendly Recipes: If you're hosting a Halloween party, consider preparing allergy-friendly recipes that cater to common allergens such as nuts, dairy, and gluten.

• Label Allergenic Foods: If you're attending a Halloween event where food is served, clearly label dishes that contain common allergens to help those with allergies make safe choices.

• Check Treats Carefully: Parents of children with allergies should carefully inspect all collected treats and discard any that may pose a risk. Consider swapping them with safe alternatives from your supply.

• Educate and Raise Awareness: Use Halloween to educate others about food allergies and the importance of allergen-free options. Share information about the Teal Pumpkin Project and encourage others to participate.

Together, we can make Halloween a safe and fun experience for all. Have a spooktacular and allergy-free Halloween!
