Chewing Gum

[emmirose2008]

Thank you for writing to inquire about ingredients used in Wrigley products.

The following is a list of U.S. Wrigley products that remain free of any wheat, oat, rye or barley gluten: 

Wrigley's Spearmint® gum, Freedent® gum, Doublemint® gum, Extra® gum, Big Red® gum, Eclipse® gum, Juicy Fruit® gum, Eclipse® Flash breath strips, Winterfresh® gum, Orbit® gum, Winterfresh® Thin Ice breath strips and Orbit White gum.

If your sensitivity extends to other types of gluten, several of our brands contain corn syrup, which may have trace amounts of corn gluten in it.  The amount of gluten in one stick is less than 0.2 milligrams, but if you are extremely sensitive, you may want to consult with your physician before chewing our brands

Additionally, no packaging material directly next to our product contains gluten sources.  There may be instances when starches are used on the label around each individual stick of gum, but these starches are produced from corn or potatoes, not from wheat, rye, barley, oats, millet or buckwheat.

We hope this information has been helpful and thanks again for contacting the Wrigley Company.

Sincerely,

WM. WRIGLEY JR. COMPANY

Cool!

FYI for anyone sensitive to aspartame, Doublemint and some other Wrigley gums that are not sugarfree also contain aspartame, to increase the sweetness time. Not all of them, but some do. I was surprised to find that out as I cannot tolerate aspartame, so those gums are now totally out for me.

Cool, I was wondering how the Glee gum was. I've never been a diet soda drinker but I started drinking Pepsi one for I few days and I felt really yucky. I started getting really bad headaches. I since went to the other end of the spectrum and I tried the organic soda from Blue Sky and I like it a lot.
