Candy safety

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Halloween food safety tips:

  • Tell children not to eat anything that is not commercially wrapped.
  • Check wrappers for an unusual appearance, discoloration, tiny pinholes or tears, and throw away anything that looks suspicious.
  • If your child has a food allergy, read the label and do not let the child eat home-baked treats.

For anything that worries you on the night, call the Coral Gables Police Department’s non-emergency line, 305-442-1600, or 911 in an emergency.
