Pepperidge Farm to Launch Gluten-Free Goldfish Crackers This November
Key Points:
- Gluten-Free Goldfish crackers will hit the shelves in November, available in 5-ounce boxes for $4.99.
- Early testers noted a toasty flavor and a crunchier texture compared to the classic Goldfish.
Earlier this month, Pepperidge Farm announced the release of Gluten-Free Goldfish, generating significant excitement, especially among gluten-free snack fans. Many expressed their joy online, calling it “the happiest day of my life.”
As a devoted Goldfish lover, I couldn’t wait until the November release, so I managed to snag a sample before it officially launched. Upon tasting, I immediately noticed differences from the original. The gluten-free version boasts a bolder orange color and smoother surface, lacking the visible salt crystals typical of classic Goldfish.
The taste and texture stand out as well. These new crackers have a snappier crunch that doesn’t crumble as easily as their counterparts. Taylor Worden, Digital Editor of Community, noted, “They taste toasty,” and even preferred the gluten-free variety over the original.
Overall, while reactions vary, Gluten-Free Goldfish present a solid alternative for those needing gluten-free options, and even for regular Goldfish fans, they’re worth a try—especially in a bowl of soup!
