What makes our candy box special
Ingredients & Allergen Information
We craft every Swedish Fish with a simple ingredient list that starts with sugar, invert sugar, and corn syrup for sweetness and texture. Modified corn starch gives each fish its signature soft chew, while citric acid adds the perfect tang to balance our fruity flavor profile.
Our candy is free from the top eight allergens, making it a worry-free choice for most dietary restrictions. We use natural and artificial flavors to create the distinctive taste, and white mineral oil ensures each piece releases easily without sticking together.
Storage & Freshness Tips
Keep your Swedish Fish candy box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain optimal freshness. The resealable packaging protects the candy from humidity and helps preserve the soft, chewy texture we’re known for.
When stored properly at room temperature (between 60-75°F), your candy will stay fresh for months. Avoid refrigeration, as cold temperatures can alter the texture and make the fish harder than intended.
Perfect Occasions for Swedish Fish
Our Swedish Fish candy box works beautifully as party favors, Halloween handouts, or everyday desk snacks. The fish-shaped pieces make creative cake decorations, and their vibrant red color adds visual appeal to candy buffets and dessert tables.
Many customers use our bulk candy packs for weddings, corporate events, and large gatherings where you need to serve a crowd. The individually sized pieces eliminate the need for cutting or portioning.

Swedish Fish Candy Box Questions
The standard Swedish Fish candy box contains approximately 90-100 individual fish pieces, depending on the specific size format you choose. Each serving consists of about 19 pieces, giving you multiple servings per box.
The exact count can vary slightly due to our manufacturing process, but we ensure consistent weight in every package. Larger party-size boxes and bulk options contain significantly more pieces for events and heavy snacking.
Yes, Swedish Fish are free from the top eight allergens including milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat, fish, and shellfish. Despite the name, our candy contains no actual fish or fish-derived ingredients.
We produce Swedish Fish in dedicated facilities with strict allergen controls. The candy is also fat-free and contains no gelatin, making it suitable for various dietary preferences. Always check the package label for the most current ingredient information.
Swedish Fish have a unique soft and chewy texture that's distinctly different from gelatin-based gummies. We use modified corn starch instead of gelatin, creating a candy that's softer and less bouncy than traditional gummies.
The flavor profile is also proprietary – our fruity red taste can't be found in any other candy brand. The fish shape and consistent size make every piece a predictable, satisfying experience that's remained unchanged since we introduced the candy decades ago.
An opened Swedish Fish candy box stays fresh for 2-3 months when stored properly in the resealable packaging. Keep the box sealed between servings and store it in a cool, dry place away from heat and humidity.
The candy may begin to harden slightly after extended exposure to air, but this doesn't mean it's unsafe to eat. For best texture and flavor, we recommend consuming within a few weeks of opening. The printed best-by date assumes the package remains sealed until that time.
Absolutely! Swedish Fish work beautifully as cake toppers, cupcake decorations, and cookie embellishments. The fish shape and bright red color add visual interest to desserts, and the candy holds its shape well at room temperature.
Many bakers press Swedish Fish into frosting, arrange them on top of brownies, or use them to create ocean-themed treats. The candy won't melt under normal decorating conditions, though we don't recommend baking them directly into recipes as heat will alter their texture.
The Original Red Swedish Fish delivers a unique fruity flavor that we've perfected over decades. While many people describe it as berry-like or vaguely cherry-reminiscent, the taste is proprietary and intentionally doesn't match any specific fruit.
This distinctive flavor is part of what makes Swedish Fish instantly recognizable. We've maintained the same formula since introducing the candy to ensure every generation experiences the exact taste profile that made Swedish Fish an American favorite.
Yes, we offer Swedish Fish in multiple package formats beyond the standard box. You can find mini snack packs, theater boxes, grab-and-go pouches, party-size boxes, and bulk packages for different occasions and consumption needs.
Each format contains the same Original Red fish with our classic soft and chewy texture. The packaging varies to accommodate different usage scenarios – from individual portions for lunchboxes to large quantities for events and wholesale distribution.
