Xylitol STRONG MINT GUM

Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

Wrigley's Extra Xylitol STRONG MINT GUM scores 59/100 on Tallow — our okay 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 Xylitol STRONG MINT GUM lists 7 ingredients, starting with Xylitol, Gum Base, Natural Flavour, Glycerol and Gum Arabic. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 59/100 Wrigley's Extra Xylitol STRONG MINT GUM lands mid-scale — below the typical score in gum & mints, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in gum & mints is Polo Spearmint Mints, 3 x 34 g at 60/100.
