Safety tips

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

  • Feed children a light meal before they go out, and ask them to wait to eat candy until you have looked through it at home.
  • Accept only commercially wrapped treats. Throw away anything with pinholes, tears or an odd look.
  • Check labels if your child has a food allergy, and skip home-baked goods.
  • For very young children, remove choking hazards such as gum, peanuts, hard candy and small toys.
  • At parties, serve pasteurized cider and keep perishable food in the fridge; do not leave it out more than two hours, or one hour above 90 degrees.

For anything that looks wrong in your neighborhood on Halloween night, call the Lawrenceville Police Department at 770-962-4173, or 911 in an emergency.
