Step One
dump out all the candy he received when going door to door. Doing this on a table in a well-lit room is helpful.
Step Two If you want to be extra safe, separate out all homemade goodies or fresh fruit. Unless you know the neighbor who packed little bags of homemade popcorn or rice krispie treats, or who gave the apple, you might want to throw those away.
Step Three Remove and toss out all unwrapped candy.
Step Four Gently inspect the remainder of the store-bought candy for any open packaging or anything that looks like it has been damaged or tampered with.

You're supposed to check the candy, see if it's been tampered with at all.
That means, that if any wrappers are open, or look like they've been open. DO NOT eat that candy.
Also if you have a certain type of candy, that may not like like or feel like the other candy, of the identical kind.
Say you have a Snickers and it feels different from the other Snickers. Like squishy or extra hard.
Don't eat that candy.
If you suspect yourself or anyone of eating 'bad' candy, spit it out, and drink milk. It helps. Then immediately call a doctor.

Look at if it's been tampered with, if the color or texture is amiss (like previously mentioned). If someone is going to poison you, I doubt they're going to be exceptionally obvious. Don't take candy from someone who looks sadistic, has a malevolent laugh, or just seems sinister towards you. I wouldn't throw out a whole bag of candy and treats because of a little paranoia. Most poisons that you will be exposed to in your lifetime will not kill you. You may get an upset stomach, but it's a part of life.

It's not going to be easy. Twist wrapped candy is something that it's advised to not give out, or even eat if you get it trick or treating, on Halloween as it would be too easy for someone to unwrap and tamper with. Things like Snickers, Milky Way, Three Musketeers, ects, basically candy where the packaging is heat or glue sealed, is more advisable as it is easier to see if it's been opened. But if someone used a syringe, they wouldn't have to open it. So you'd have to look for a pin prick hole from a needle.
Most likely none of your candy has been poisoned.

Check to see if the candy wrapper has been tampered with, or if when you open it the candy looks unusual throw it out. Also, it is usually an intelligent plan not to eat anything that is "home-made" (from a stranger). Also, Hospitals now offer free X-ray scanning for your candy, so if you are that concerned take it there. Hope this helps and GOD bless!

I've never heard of anyone being caught passing out poison candy, why is that? Kids know what houses they went to. I think the poison candy deal was made up by people who wanted to get on television.

It makes you ill. But don't fret, most documented cases of poisoned Halloween candy have been found to come from family members using the holiday as a tool to off their kids.

We will never know. If there candy was "posined" they won't be able to tell us.

I guess the only way you'd be able to tell is if you got really sick from eating it...
There's really no way of telling unless you send all of you halloween candy off to a lab before eating it!
