Food and beverage brands are starting to take advantage of the Halloween season with seasonal packaging that aims to enhance the experience.

Beak & Johnston's Pitango has led the way in the chilled segment with a limited edition ‘Halloween’ version of its Organic Pumpkin & Ginger Soup. The Halloween packs will be available in selected stores nationally from 16 October.

Kellogg's has also jumped on the bandwagon by providing a spooky augmented reality (AR) experience through its most popular cereal packs as part of a partnership with AR expert and app maker Shazam.

Consumers are invited to discover a 'free Trick or Treat experience in-store' by purchasing Coco Pops, Rice Bubbles, Fruit Loops, Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes, or LCM's bars.

Further afield in the US, Fanta has released a range of Halloween-inspired cans in four ghoulish designs.

The beverage company teamed up with illustrator Noma Bar to bring to life popular monsters from Universal Studios.
