This Halloween, Americans use teal pumpkins to signal allergen-free treats, supporting children with food allergies.

This Halloween, Americans are participating in the Teal Pumpkin Project, a nationwide effort led by Food Allergy Research & Education, to make Halloween safer for the estimated 5.6 million children with food allergies. Households display teal pumpkins to signal they offer non-food treats or allergen-free options, helping prevent life-threatening reactions. The initiative, now supported by CVS Pharmacy and retailers like Target and Dollar Tree, promotes awareness through events like the Teal Pumpkin Walk-In and virtual Write-In, with free printable signs available to encourage inclusion.
