What GoodPop is and who makes it

GoodPop is a brand of popsicles made by Edy's Grand Ice Cream, the same company behind Edy's ice cream. The popsicles come in a range of fruit flavors — typically berry, tropical, and citrus varieties — and are sold as a frozen treat you buy at grocery stores, convenience stores, and online retailers.

GoodPop popsicles are positioned as a lighter option compared to some other frozen treats. They're smaller than full-size ice cream bars and come individually wrapped, so you buy them one at a time or in multi-packs. The brand focuses on straightforward fruit flavors without artificial colors or flavors in most varieties, though formulations can vary by product line.

Key Takeaways

  • The popsicles come in fruit flavors like strawberry, mango, and raspberry, with most varieties made without artificial colors or flavors.
  • You can find GoodPop in the frozen dessert aisle at most major supermarkets, or order online through grocery delivery services.
  • GoodPop popsicles are typically priced per unit or in multi-packs, with costs varying by retailer and pack size.
  • Nutrition information varies by flavor, so check the label if you're watching calories, sugar, or other nutrients.

Where to buy GoodPop popsicles

You'll find GoodPop in the frozen dessert section of most major grocery chains, including Kroger, Safeway, Albertsons, and Whole Foods. Walmart and Target also stock the brand in their frozen aisles. The exact flavors and pack sizes available depend on the store and region — not every location carries every variety.

If you prefer to order online, GoodPop is available through grocery delivery services like Instacart, Amazon Fresh, and Walmart+. You can also order directly from some retailers' websites. Shipping frozen items requires expedited delivery, so costs are higher than in-store purchases, and the popsicles must arrive in an insulated box with ice packs.

How to read the nutrition label

Each GoodPop flavor has its own nutrition profile, so the calorie count, sugar content, and ingredients differ. Check the back of the box or the individual wrapper for the nutrition facts label. Most varieties fall in the 40 to 80 calorie range per popsicle, though this varies.

If you're tracking sugar intake, look at the "Total Sugars" line on the label. Some GoodPop varieties use added sugar, while others rely on fruit juice concentrate. The ingredient list will show you whether the popsicle contains artificial sweeteners, gelatin, or other additives. Since formulations can change, always check the current label rather than relying on memory.

Flavor varieties and seasonal availability

GoodPop typically offers a core lineup of flavors year-round — usually strawberry, mango, and raspberry — plus seasonal or limited-edition varieties that rotate. Tropical blends, citrus mixes, and berry combinations appear depending on the time of year and what the manufacturer decides to produce.

Availability of specific flavors depends on your location and the retailer. A store in one region may stock different flavors than a store 50 miles away. If you find a flavor you like, buy extra when you see it, because limited-edition varieties may not return for months or at all. Retailers' websites or the GoodPop brand website can sometimes tell you which flavors are currently in production.

Price and pack size options

GoodPop popsicles are sold in multi-packs ranging from 6 to 12 popsicles per box, though some retailers sell individual popsicles at checkout. Prices vary by retailer and location, but expect to pay roughly $0.50 to $1.00 per popsicle when you buy a multi-pack. Individual popsicles at checkout are usually more expensive per unit.

Buying in bulk — larger multi-packs or buying several boxes at once — typically lowers the per-popsicle cost. Warehouse clubs like Costco sometimes carry GoodPop in larger quantities at a lower per-unit price, though selection is more limited than at traditional grocery stores. Online ordering may include delivery fees that offset any savings on the popsicles themselves.

Storage and shelf life

GoodPop popsicles must stay frozen until you eat them. Store them in your freezer at 0°F or below. An unopened box will keep for several months in a standard home freezer, though the exact shelf life depends on your freezer's temperature stability and how often you open and close the door.

Once you unwrap a popsicle, eat it right away — it will melt quickly at room temperature. If a popsicle partially melts and refreezes, the texture changes and it may not taste as good. Keep the box in the back of your freezer rather than near the door, where temperature fluctuates more.

Comparing GoodPop to other popsicle brands

GoodPop competes with other fruit popsicle brands like Outshine, Edy's Pie, and store-brand popsicles. Outshine popsicles are made with fruit juice and come in similar flavors. Store brands are usually cheaper per unit but may have different ingredient lists or texture. Premium brands like Haagen-Dazs make frozen bars that cost more but use different recipes.

The main difference between brands is ingredient quality, flavor intensity, and price. GoodPop positions itself as a middle ground — better ingredient quality than many store brands, but less expensive than premium brands. Taste is personal, so try a small pack of GoodPop and compare it to brands you already know to decide if it's worth buying again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are GoodPop popsicles made with real fruit?

Most GoodPop varieties are made with fruit juice concentrate or puree rather than whole fruit. The exact source varies by flavor — some use real fruit juice, others use concentrate. Check the ingredient list on the box to see what's in the specific flavor you're considering.

Do GoodPop popsicles contain artificial sweeteners?

Most standard GoodPop popsicles use sugar rather than artificial sweeteners, though some specialty varieties may include them. Read the ingredient label to confirm what sweetener is used in the flavor you want. The label will list any artificial sweeteners by name if they're present.

Can I return GoodPop popsicles if I don't like them?

Return policies depend on where you bought them. Most grocery stores will accept returns of unopened, frozen popsicles within a reasonable timeframe if you have your receipt. Online retailers like Amazon have their own return policies for frozen items. Contact the retailer's customer service to ask about their specific process.

Where can I find the GoodPop brand website?

You can search for "GoodPop popsicles" online to find the brand's official website, which usually lists current flavors, nutrition information, and where to buy. The site may also have recipes or promotional information. Edy's Grand Ice Cream, the parent company, also maintains information about GoodPop on their main website.

Are GoodPop popsicles vegan or dairy-free?

Most GoodPop popsicles are dairy-free and vegan, since they're made with fruit juice and water rather than cream or milk. However, check the label to confirm, as formulations can vary and some specialty varieties may include dairy ingredients. The allergen information on the box will tell you if dairy is present.
