July 25/Chicago -- The Goldfish brand is taking the iconic cracker to the next level with the introduction of new Goldfish Puffs. These bigger and bolder Goldfish-shaped bites -- available in Buffalo Wing, Cheddar Bacon, and Mega Cheese varieties -- provide an amped-up snack experience for longtime Goldfish fans.

The snacks are baked, contain no artificial preservatives and offer 10g whole grains per serving. These wholesome, puffed snacks have a unique, crunchy texture, are gluten-free, a first for the Goldfish brand, and made in a certified gluten-free facility.

“As many of our fans grow up, we want to give them another reason to keep asking for Goldfish snacks,” said Jared Konstanty, senior vice president, General Manager Snacks at Pepperidge Farm. “Whether running from busy school days to action-packed practices or simply chilling out with friends, hungry teens are always looking for fun, cool snacks and Goldfish Puffs deliver.”

“We’ve taken all the elements of our crackers we know teens love – in particular the shape and the smile – and really turned up the volume. It’s the first time we’ve used such bold flavors or such a crunchy snack base,” he said.

Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Puffs are available in major supermarkets, grocery stores and mass merchandisers nationwide for a suggested retail price of $2.99 for a 7oz bag. A 2oz bag is also available in convenience stores for a suggested retail price of $.99.
