Safe Treats for Halloween and other Classroom Parties

I am often asked of safe treat/foods that can given at classroom parties and I wanted to share food items that are safe for all. Although, not required a healthy option is highly encouraged. This can include fruit, yogurt, popcorn etc.
 
As an added safeguard, please check ingredient labels each time of purchase to make sure there is still no peanuts/tree nuts or cross contamination statements. Ingredients can change without warning.
 

Safe Party Foods/Snack List

Please avoid snacks that contain peanuts (including peanut flower, peanut oil, or peanut butter) or tree nuts (including almonds, cashews, pecans, macadamias, hazelnuts/filberts, Brazil nuts, pistachios, pine nuts, walnuts, and coconut, or any flour, oil or butter).

Please read labels carefully to make sure the products are safe. This includes avoiding labels with cross contamination warnings such as:
