Before you or your children go trick-or-treating, remember these tips from the FDA:

*Don’t eat candy until it has been inspected at home.
*Eat a snack before heading out to avoid the temptation of nibbling on a treat before it has been inspected.
*In case of a food allergy, check the label to ensure the allergen isn’t present. Tell children not to accept — or eat — anything that isn’t commercially wrapped.
*Parents of very young children should remove any choking hazards such as gum, peanuts, hard candies, or small toys from the Halloween bags.
*Inspect commercially wrapped treats for signs of tampering, such as an unusual appearance or discoloration, tiny pinholes, or tears in wrappers. Throw away anything that looks suspicious.
