Archer Farms ingredients: what's banned overseas?

About Archer Farms

Archer Farms was Target's premium private-label food brand before being merged into the Good & Gather lineup beginning in 2019. It focused on premium snacks, trail mixes, frozen meals, and specialty pantry items. Residual Archer Farms products may still appear in stores, and the brand remains well known among Target shoppers. Target has transitioned most Archer Farms SKUs into the cleaner Good & Gather or Market Pantry lines.

Common concerns with Archer Farms products

Legacy Archer Farms products in snack and trail mix categories may contain artificial flavors, added sugars, and in some cases artificial colors. As the brand is absorbed into Good & Gather (which excludes HFCS, synthetic dyes, and artificial flavors), remaining Archer Farms items should be checked individually. Premium snack varieties with seasoning coatings were most likely to carry TBHQ or artificial flavor concerns.
