Is information about chewing gum ingredients available to consumers?

Chewing gum ingredients and labels are governed by publicly available standards and regulations. Labelling laws and regulations applicable to all foods, including chewing gum, require that ingredients be listed in a clear and standardized way. “Gum base” is the recognized term for the component that provides gum’s chewable texture. At the same time, specific formulations of gum base are the result of many years of proprietary research and development and represent valuable industrial know-how. As with other food products, the precise composition is therefore safeguarded, while ensuring that consumers are provided the information they need to make informed purchase decisions.
