Wrigley's Extra Spearmint Gum

Breakdown

6 ingredients to avoid

Wrigley's Extra Spearmint Gum scores 15/100 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.

Wrigley's Extra Spearmint Gum lists 11 ingredients, starting with Sorbitol, Xylitol, Aspartame, Mannitol and Non-nutritive Sweeteners: Acesulfame k and Sucralose. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Wrigley's Extra Spearmint Gum scores worse than most gum & mints we have scored. A higher-scoring option in gum & mints is Polo Spearmint Mints, 3 x 34 g at 60/100.
