Swedish Fish and Friends chewy candy

Swedish Fish is a iconic fish-shaped chewy candy that originated in Sweden in the late 1950s. It was specifically developed by the Swedish confectionery company Malaco for the North American market, designed to reflect the country's fishing heritage.

Today, the brand is owned by Mondelez International, a global snack giant. While the candy has Swedish roots, the versions sold in North America are predominantly manufactured in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The 'And Friends' variety shown here includes additional shapes like turtles and dolphins, expanding the classic brand identity into a broader marine-themed snack line managed under the Mondelēz global portfolio.
