SnackSwapperThe honest verdict
Is Goldfish Crackers Actually Healthy?
Goldfish are gentler than most snack aisles: real cheese, 140 calories, and only 5g of fat per 55 pieces. The catch is that nobody eats 55 pieces; the smile-shaped cracker was built for mindless handfuls, and the refined-flour base offers little to stop you. Fine in a lunchbox, worth upgrading if they're a daily bag habit.
