Product Insights
Chicle is a sugar‑free chewing gum marketed by Mentos, falling under the sugary snacks category of the PNNS classification. It is designated as a Nova 4 ultra‑processed product, containing a blend of low‑calorie sweeteners (xylitol, maltitol, mannitol, sorbitol, aspartame, acesulfame K, sucralose) along with multiple additives such as emulsifiers, thickeners, colorants and a soy‑derived allergen. While it offers zero added sugars and negligible fat and salt, the high number of artificial additives and the presence of soy may be drawbacks for sensitive consumers, and no Nutri‑Score is assigned.
