Goldfish Cracker

Goldfish crackers are small, fish-shaped baked snack crackers made primarily from wheat flour, cheese, oils, and seasonings. Originating in the United States, the product was first introduced by Pepperidge Farm in 1962 and has since become a popular snack choice for children and adults alike, due to its convenient size and satisfying, cheesy flavor. These bite-sized crackers come in a variety of flavors and limited edition options, including the classic cheddar, Parmesan, and pretzel variations. Goldfish crackers are beloved for their cute and playful shape and are often used as a fun and tasty addition in children's lunches, party snacks, or creative recipes, such as incorporating into homemade trail mix or as a festive soup garnish.

Goldfish Cracker FAQ
Goldfish crackers, with their fishy little smiles, are a favorite snack for both children and adults alike. These crackers, made from wheat flour, cheese, and seasonings are versatile and can elevate the taste of any dish. Often people struggle with incorporating them into recipes and making the most out of their usage, while others often wonder how they get their unique shape. To get the most out of this ingredient, try baking them into a savory pie crust or cheese straws, using them as a crispy salad topping or stirring them into a hearty soup. You can also ground them up into a fine crumb, like breadcrumbs, and use them as a crunchy, cheesy coating for chicken or fish. You can even use them for fun, creative snacks for children, for example, serving them with hummus or making a 'fishing game' with celery sticks. A little-known tip for Goldfish crackers is that they can be microwaved for a few seconds to restore their crunchiness if they have gone a bit soft. Also, don't forget to experiment with the various flavors available!

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does goldfish cracker expire?
When unopened, a bag of goldfish crackers can last up to 3-4 months past its printed date if properly stored in a cool, dry area. Once the bag has been opened, it's best to consume the crackers within 1-2 weeks to maintain optimal taste and texture. If the opened bag is resealed tightly (preferably with a clipped or airtight container) and stored in a cool, dry area, it can last up to a month. Freezing is not commonly done for these type of snacks and won't benefit the shelf life.
How do you tell if goldfish cracker is bad?
It is fairly easy to tell if your goldfish crackers have gone bad. The easiest giveaway is the smell - if they smell strange or off, it's best to discard them. Also, they will lose their crunch and become stale and soft when exposed to air for too long. If they exhibit changes in color or appear moldy (though this is less common), do not eat them.
Tips for storing goldfish cracker to extend shelf life
• Always reseal the bag tightly after opening. If the bag doesn't have a resealable top, use a clip or store in an airtight container. • Store the bag in a cool, dry place - heat and humidity can speed up the process of them going stale. • Do not store near strong-smelling foods as they can absorb those odors. • Consume within a few weeks after opening for the best taste and texture.
