Common questions

Is Swedish Fish healthy?

Swedish Fish scores 0/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Swedish Fish?

Swedish Fish lists 9 ingredients, starting with Sugar, Invert Sugar, Corn Syrup, Modified Corn Starch and Citric Acid. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Swedish Fish contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Swedish Fish’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Swedish Fish?

We don’t have a NOVA classification on file for Swedish Fish yet, so the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does Swedish Fish compare to other gummies & chewy candy?

At 0/100 Swedish Fish scores worse than most gummies & chewy candy we have scored. A higher-scoring option in gummies & chewy candy is Haribo Starmix at 80/100.

Is Swedish Fish organic?

Has Swedish Fish been lab tested?
