Halloween Candy In Iowa Found With Screws, Tacks, And Nuts.

Parents in northwest Iowa are being urged to check their children's Halloween candy after authorities received reports of candy containing potentially dangerous foreign objects.

The Sioux County Sheriff's Office says it has been made aware of candy discovered in the Boyden area, with objects including screws, tacks, and nuts.

Even more concerning, authorities say the candy packages appeared to have been sealed, making it unclear how the objects ended up inside.

Investigators have not yet determined the original source of the candy.

Thankfully, no injuries have been reported so far.

The Sheriff's Office is encouraging parents to take a few extra minutes to carefully inspect all Halloween candy before allowing children to eat it.

Parents should look for damaged or unusual packaging, opened wrappers, loose or suspicious items, and anything that doesn't look right.

If something seems questionable, it's best to throw it away rather than take a chance.

Authorities are also asking anyone who may have information about the situation to contact the Sioux County Sheriff's Office.
