Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Flavor Blasted Xtra Cheddar

Goldfish crackers are a globally recognized snack brand originally inspired by a Swiss recipe created by Oscar J. Kambly at the Kambly biscuit manufacturer in 1958. Margaret Rudkin, the founder of Pepperidge Farm, discovered the snack in Switzerland and introduced them to the United States market in 1962. Since then, the brand has grown into a staple of American snack culture, known for its iconic fish shape and smiling mascot.

Today, the brand is owned by the Campbell Soup Company, which acquired Pepperidge Farm in 1961. Manufacturing is primarily concentrated in the United States, with major production facilities located in states like Pennsylvania and Ohio. The 'Flavor Blasted' line, including the Xtra Cheddar variety shown, features enhanced seasoning profiles designed to appeal to modern consumer tastes while maintaining the heritage of the original baked snack.
