On October 5, 2017, Giant Food today announced it is the exclusive grocery partner on the East Coast to the Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) Teal Pumpkin Project to help shoppers become more aware of food allergies and ensure safe choices for all trick-or-treaters this Halloween.
Shoppers will find special Teal Pumpkin Project sections at all participating Giant Food store locations where they will be able to purchase allergy friendly, non-food treats like glow sticks as well as the teal pumpkin baskets which can placed in front of their home to indicate they have safe, non-food treats available for children with food allergies.
The Teal Pumpkin Project helps promotes a safe, inclusive trick-or-treating experience - a way to make sure all children feel included during Halloween.
