Teal Pumpkin Project™

CDF and FARE (Food Allergy

Research & Education) teamed

up!• raise awareness of food allergies

and promote inclusion

• ensure ALL trick-or-treaters can

enjoy Halloween!

1. Post the sign in your window

2. Paint your pumpkin teal and carve

with CDF butterfly

3. Provide non-food and GF treats

Non-Food Treats:• glow stick, bracelets,

necklaces

• pencils, pens, crayons,

markers

• bubbles

• halloween erasers and

pencil toppers

• mini slinkies

• whistles, kazoos,

noisemakers

• bouncy balls

• finger puppets

• spider rings

• vampire fangs

• playing cards

• bookmarks

• stickers

• stencils

Trick-or-Treating

Tips for a fun gluten-free night (and avoiding a

melt-down):

• Discuss the plan and set the rules ahead of time

• All candy will be sorted with mom and dad, and the gluten-

containing candy will be given to food banks or can be

traded with siblings

• Determine how

much candy will be

kept, and how much

will be allowed to

eat each day

Everything in Moderation• Allow your child to fill up 1 bag with his/her

favorites and give away the rest

• Minimize choices: Keep a small container on

the counter for your child to choose one or

two pieces for dessert, then refill it from the

larger stash

• Always brush teeth after

eating simple sugars to

prevent dental carries!

Classroom & Kids Parties• Bring GF treats to share

• Notify the party host ahead of time

• Make sure you have a 504 plan with your school

Face Paint & Costume Makeup

Do you need to worry?

• Gluten cannot be absorbed

through the skin

• BUT, especially for young

children, makeup may end up

on the hands and in the mouth

• Many people with celiac

disease have additional

sensitivities to topical products;

test them out before Halloween

to avoid a disaster

Make your own GF face paint

1. Mix body lotion or cold cream (check for GF

ingredients) with cornstarch until it reaches a

paint-like consistency (usually double the

cornstarch to lotion). Add a few drops of food

coloring

2. Start with a very light-

complexioned face

foundation and mix in

GF eye-shadows

Pumpkin Seed Seasonings

Full recipes at celiac.org/

Ask the Dietitian

• Cinnamon and sugar

• Garam masala

• Paprika

• Rosemary and parmesan cheese

• Brown sugar, chipotle chile powder, cumin

Gluten-Free Cider & Beer

• Ciders are the trendy alcoholic beverage and the

perfect flavor for the fall season. Most ciders are

naturally gluten-free

• Beer labeled gluten-free,

not gluten-removed

• Choose those that are

labeled GF and/or list

ingredients

• Choose bottled, not tap!

Pumpkin Spice Latte

• Many popular coffee shops are not making allergen

information public; ask questions and do research

• Treat coffee shops as restaurants; if ingredients are

gluten-free be weary of cross-contact and notify

your barista of your dietary restriction. Ask them to

wash equipment thoroughly

• Possible gluten-containing ingredient: malt flavor

Make Your Own PSL• Mix ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice with 2 tsp honey,

agave, or maple syrup (note: honey and agave are

higher in fructose and may cause GI distress)

• Brew coffee. Mix 8 oz coffee

with 1 tsp pumpkin-spice-

sweetener until dissolved.

• Shake 2/3 cup milk in a jar for 2

minutes to make frothy, then

microwave for 20-30 seconds

and mix into coffee. Top with

froth.
