About Goldfish Crackers

Goldfish crackers, made by Pepperidge Farm (a Campbell's brand), are one of America's most popular children's snacks. While original Goldfish crackers do not use synthetic dyes (they rely on cheddar cheese and annatto for color), some Goldfish varieties including Goldfish Colors and Goldfish Mega Bites use Red 40, Yellow 5, and Yellow 6. The crackers also contain soybean oil with TBHQ in some formulations.
