HALLOWEEN FOR ALL – OCTOBER 2017
We’d like all our food allergy friends to have a safe and happy Halloween. If you are organising a trick-or-treat in your local neighbourhood or school. Share our printable NON-FOOD TREATS poster, so our friends with allergies can join in the fun too.
Some examples that kids love – glow sticks, novelty Halloween toys, stickers and pencil toppers. Check out your local discount store for more ideas. SPREAD the word with your friends and make this Halloween fun for everyone!
Share what you get up to on our Facebook page.
HALLOWEEN TIPS FROM THAI
- Hand out safe treats to friends and neighbours ahead of trick-or treating. You can provide this labelled in a little bag.
- Costumes can include gloves to avoid contact with food.
- Always check face paint it may contain peanut oils or other nasty chemicals.
- Give out non-food treats at your own door so your child can feel included.
- Arrange a Halloween party with a few close friends, you can provide safe food.
- Check the label on EVERY lolly, EVERY time.
- Have a swap system, swap unsafe lollies with a safe treat.
- Never eat anything that does not have the ingredients listed on it.
- Be careful of cheap lollies not made in Australia. Lollies made in Australia have clear allergen statements.
- Watch out for lollies that have different flavours, most Tic Tac’s do not contain MILK but some flavours do.
- Tag team with a partner if you are attending a party, so each of you get time to relax.
- Avoid homemade food prepared by friends or neighbours, you don’t know how or where this food was prepared.
- Have a fancy dress party so the main focus is not on food.
- Have a Halloween treasure hunt and you can provide safe treats or non-food items.
- Always carry two EpiPens when out trick-or-treating, a phone and a torch.
Have a safe and happy Halloween, remember to be Food Allergy Smart!

DO YOU HAVE A FOOD ALLERGY SUPERHERO AT HOME?
Thai was recently eating some peanuts (safe food now for Thai) his Grandpa was sitting next to him eating a sandwich. He reached over and took a handful of peanuts!
Thai stormed into the kitchen as his nuts were now contaminated, Grandpa had not washed his hands after eating his sandwich and Thai knew this could mean cross contamination!
Do you have a food allergy superhero at home? We’d love to hear your story. Send us an email and we will include it on our website. info@myfoodallergyfriends.com
