All ingredients used in Wrigley's products are extensively tested and only ingredients approved by Australian and New Zealand Food regulators are used. They can be broken up into the following main groups:
Gum Base
Gum base puts the “chew” in chewing gum, binding
all the ingredients together for a smooth, soft texture.
The Wrigley Company uses synthetic gum base materials that
provide longer-lasting flavour, improved texture and reduced
tackiness.
Sweeteners
The finest grades of pure powdered cane sugar, beet sugar
and wheat glucose syrup are used in the production of Wrigley's sugar-sweetened
products. Several types of high-intensity sweeteners
are used in Wrigley’s sugar-free products as sweeteners and as flavour
enhancers in some other brands. These ingredients
deliver long-lasting, non-caloric taste and do not promote
tooth-decay.
• Acesulfame K
• Aspartame
• Maltitol
• Sorbitol
• Xylitol
• Sucralose
• Neotame
Softeners
Wrigley Products available within Australia and New Zealand use glycerin which is derived from vegetable oil and helps keep the gum soft and flexible by retaining the proper amount of moisture in these products.
Flavourings and colourings
The most popular flavour for chewing gum comes from the
mint plant. Mint flavouring for Wrigley’s chewing
gums is extracted from fresh mint plants. After the plants
are harvested, they go through a distillation process that
extracts the oils used for flavouring Wrigley brands. Other
Wrigley brands are flavoured by a variety of fruit and spice
essences. Colourings are used to distinguish different flavours.
Preservatives
A small amount of preservative helps maintain the freshness
of all Wrigley products.
