Food allergy advocates are hoping you'll add another color to the traditional orange Halloween display. This year, the color they want to see is teal.
Food Allergy Research and Education, or FARE, has kicked off "The Teal Pumpkin Project," hoping to raise awareness of food allergies by having alternatives to the traditional Halloween candy that may contain dangerous, or even deadly, ingredients for a child with allergies.
By displaying either a teal pumpkin, or a flyer, trick or treaters will know that a home is giving out a non-food treat alternative this Halloween.
There are two fliers available - one that has candy and non-food available and one that's just non-food treats available.

So what can you give a child as a non-food treat? FARE suggests stickers, mini Slinkies, or glow stick products.
