True Gum chewing gum is just like regular gum, only better. Most chewing gum is made from the same plastic materials used in bottles, glue, and rubber bands. True Gum is made with chicle (sap from the Sapodilla tree), all-natural flavors, and plant-based sweeteners. Each piece of gum is carefully crafted in True Gum’s own small, green-energy-powered gum factory.
The ingredients are mixed, kneaded and stretched to achieve the perfect combination of texture and taste. After more than seven days of mixing, cutting, coating, resting and testing, the pieces of chewing gum are ready to be packed in sustainable cardboard boxes.
Chicle
The chicle True Gum uses is harvested by local 'chicleros' in Central America using a sustainable technique that has been used for centuries by indigenous jungle communities and does not require the felling of trees. The use of chicle supports the livelihoods of local communities.
Natural sweeteners
True Gum uses the low-calorie plant-based sweeteners stevia and xylitol. Stevia is a sugar substitute derived from plant leaves and xylitol comes from birch trees. Xylitol has been shown to prevent tooth decay and is therefore good for your teeth.
Natural flavors
True Gum uses only natural flavors derived from plants.
Flavors
The gum comes in six different flavours. Choose between the classic True Gum Mint infused with a generous dash of raw matcha powder, the delicious True Gum Raspberry & Vanilla, the vibrant True Gum Ginger & Turmeric, the soothing True Gum Licorice & Eucalyptus, the sweet and sour True Gum Lemon or combat bad breath with the ice cold, ultra-fresh tasting True Gum Strong Mint.

Over Het Merk
True Gum
Most chewing gum is made from the same plastic polymers used in car tires and plastic bottles. This means that this gum is not biodegradable and will remain stuck to our streets forever. The microplastics can end up in the oceans and be consumed by marine life, eventually re-entering our food chain.
True Gum was founded as a startup by Jacob, Peter, Zabrina and Morten, who believed that the production of chewing gum could be improved. In 2017 they had their aha! moment - could a chewing gum be made that is completely free of plastic? The founders of True Gum took on the challenge, and after many prototypes made in their own kitchen, they finally perfected the recipe. They have now set up shop in a small factory just outside Copenhagen where a team of passionate chewing gum enthusiasts guarantee top quality in every piece. True Gum is now sold all over Europe.
