Which ingredients are allowed by German food law? |
According to German food law, which defines the basic composition of chewing-gum, all ingredients of chewing gum must be of best quality and compatible with the human body.
Generally, companies create their own recipe and provide their chewing gum with an extraordinary taste. As ingredients certain natural or artificial flavouring are used, e.g., peppermint, cinnanmon and fruit extracts. Sugar, corn syrup, artificial sweeteners or sugar substitutes give it a pleasureable sweetness.
Diluents made of vegetable oil are used as binders to prevent the chewing gum from drying-out.
