With the night for trick-or-treating officially here, there may be different coloured pumpkin buckets spotted among the sea of orange ones - and they have a special meaning.
Teal pumpkins, whether they are used to hold candy or for decoration, are often used as an indication that a house is food-allergen-friendly - and that non-food treats such as glow-sticks or stickers will be given out to trick-or-treaters. The Teal Pumpkin Project was first started in 2014 by Food Allergy Research & Education - with the goal to raise awareness of food allergens on Halloween.
