While out trick-or-treating Friday night, you might stumble upon a teal pumpkin.

What does it mean?

A teal pumpkin means you’re at a house that has non-food treats for trick-or-treaters with food allergies.

Food Allergy Research & Education is trying to encourage neighborhoods to start a new tradition that will make Halloween fun for kids with food allergies.

“The Teal Pumpkin Project is designed to promote safety, inclusion and respect of individuals managing food allergies – and to keep Halloween a fun, positive experience for all,” touts FARE.

Check out the FARE Teal Pumpkin map to find out where you might see a teal pumpkin.
