Razor blades and poisoned candy: A history of Americans fearing Halloween
Fox News
Warnings against tainted Halloween candy have been around for decades, but confirmed incidents are far and few in between.
The world’s leading researcher on candy tampering – Joel Best, a professor of sociology and criminal justice at the University of Delaware – has found little evidence to substantiate Halloween candy fears.
Instacart, the popular grocery delivery and pick-up platform, has officially released its Halloween candy data report — and the results may surprise you.
"My research stretches back to 1958," Best told Fox News. "I have been unable to find any evidence that any child has been killed or seriously injured by a contaminated treat picked up in the course of trick-or-treating."
