Product Insights
Mentos White is a sugar‑free chewing gum marketed under the Mentos, Perfetti and Van Melle brands, classified in the "Sugary snacks" group of the PNNS system. While it contains no added sugars and therefore provides virtually no sugar load, it belongs to the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category and includes fourteen food additive codes such as E951 (aspartame), E950 (acesulfame K), E321 (BHA) and several emulsifiers and glazing agents. The gum also lists soy lecithin as an allergen and delivers minimal fat, salt and calories, making it low in traditional macronutrients but largely a chemically formulated product.
Comparative Analysis
Compared with the average sugary‑snack profile, Mentos White contains essentially no added sugar, far less fat (well below 10.5 g per 100 g) and negligible salt, placing it far below the category averages for sugars, fat and sodium.
