Goldfish are exported and sold in countries around the world. In the UK, they are sold under the name 'Finz',[21] but the product is identical. In Switzerland, the original Goldfish flavor is marketed under the brand name Goldfischli.[1]
Spin-offs
Pepperidge Farm has created several spin-off products including Goldfish Sandwich Crackers, Flavor-Blasted Goldfish,[13][15] Goldfish bread, multi-colored Goldfish (known as Goldfish-American), and Baby Goldfish (which are smaller than normal). There are also seasonably available color-changing Goldfish, colored Goldfish (come in a variety pack). There was reportedly once a line of Goldfish cookies in vanilla and chocolate; chocolate has reappeared in the '100 calorie' packs.
Goldfish noodles also can be found in Campbell's chicken noodle, tomato, and meatball soup. The Goldfish shaped noodles in the tomato soup have been discontinued.
Legal issues
In 1999, Campbell Soup Co.'s Pepperidge Farm won a court case involving Nabisco's Cheese NipsCatDog crackers that had fish-shaped crackers that resembled Goldfish. The court ordered Nabisco to refrain from using the goldfish shape and to recall all their products that included the fish shape.[22]
Recalls
On July 23, 2018, Pepperidge Farms was notified by one of its ingredient suppliers that whey powder (in a seasoning applied to four varieties of Goldfish crackers) may have the presence of salmonella. The Flavored Blasted Xtra Cheddar crackers were recalled due to a possible risk of the salmonella outbreak. Three other Goldfish varieties (Flavored Blast Sour Slammin' Cream and Onion, Whole Grain Xtra Cheddar, and Goldfish Mix Xtra Cheddar and Pretzel) were also recalled due to contamination of the salmonella bacterium caused by whey powder. The contaminated varieties of Goldfish were immediately removed from all stores they were sold at following the recall.[23]
Popular culture
Julia Child liked Goldfish crackers so much, that on Thanksgiving, she often put out a bowl, alongside her famous reverse martini.[24]

Raise your hand if you have a busy few weeks left until the end of the school year! You can't see me, but my hand is definitely up. I can hardly believe how full our calendar is until the end of May. From homework time to after school activities, I'm going to be spending a lot of time in the car. We commute to many activities, and I always have to be prepared with snacks and activities for on-the-go. With four kids, it seems like someone is always asking for an after school snack or needing a fun way to pass the time. Goldfish crackers and printable games make great options for these busy times, and I have a printable Color and Number Matching Game for you today that combines these two!
