Made Possible by Demand

For years, Goldfish fans have asked, commented, messaged and written to the brand with one clear request: make Goldfish gluten free. Those requests did not go unheard. As approximately 30% of the U.S. population actively seeks gluten-free options¹, Goldfish Gluten Free reflects the brand's continued commitment to listening to consumers and delivering on the snacks families are asking for, while staying true to the taste, quality and fun that define the Goldfish experience.

"We've heard from many families who love Goldfish but haven't always been able to enjoy them together, and that feedback stayed with us," said Tiphanie Maronta, SVP, Goldfish Crackers. "We wanted to take the time to make sure every detail — from the taste and texture to the iconic shape—was true to Goldfish. With Goldfish Gluten Free, more families can now share the lunchbox moments, after-school snacks and smiles that Goldfish has inspired for generations."
