Analysis updated September 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
This chewing gum uses xylitol as a natural sweetener, which is beneficial for oral health and has a lower glycemic index compared to artificial sweeteners. The inclusion of spearmint oil as a natural flavor is also a positive aspect. However, the presence of soy lecithin, a processed emulsifier, and the overall level of processing with multiple additives slightly detract from its overall quality.
