    Goldfish Crackers are a popular snack with many cheesy flavors. But do they actually contain cheese or are they vegan?

    Find out below!

    Three packages of Goldfish Crackers.

    Non-vegan ingredients in Goldfish Crackers

    Unfortunately, there are no vegan Goldfish Crackers as they all contain milk ingredients.

    Keep reading if you want to know what specific non-vegan ingredients are found in Goldfish.

    Milk

    Each package of Goldfish contains at least one of the following milk ingredients:

    • Cheddar Cheese
    • Whey
    • Monterey Jack Cheese
    • Parmesan Cheese
    • Romano Cheese
    • Sweet Cream Solids
    • Sour Cream Solids
    • Cream
    • Milkfat
    • Nonfat Milk
    • Butter

    Sugar

    Cane sugar is sometimes filtered through bone char, which is charred animal bones. Sugar filtered with this method does not actually contain bone char, but it does come in contact with it.

    Some vegans are okay with this, but some avoid all sugar that is filtered through bone char.

    Some flavors of Goldfish also contain brown sugar, which is made with cane sugar that may be filtered through bone-char as well.

    Gelatin

    There is currently gelatin in one flavor of Goldfish Crackers - the S’mores flavor.

    Honey

    There is currently honey in one flavor of Goldfish Crackers - the S’mores flavor.

    Natural flavors

    Some Goldfish flavors contain natural flavors. Natural flavors come from either plants or animals, though this is usually not disclosed on packaging. So the natural flavors in Goldfish may or may not be vegan.

    There are also some other ingredients in various Goldfish flavors that may be non-vegan, however those listed above are the most obviously non-vegan ingredients.

    And the specifics of each ingredient don’t need to be looked at because we already know that all Goldfish flavors contain milk ingredients anyways.

    Are Goldfish gluten-free?

    No. All Goldfish crackers contain wheat, therefore they are not gluten-free.
