Mastiqe is presenting its premium line of sugar-free chewing gum at the Summer Fancy Food Show 2026, setting itself apart with a newly enhanced mastic gum that's naturally sweetened and clean-ingredient. A growing number of consumers are turning back to chewing gum's roots as they seek more natural, ingredient-conscious alternatives to synthetic bases and artificial additives. Made from 100% authentic mastic resin, this refreshing, plant-based chewing gum promises unparalleled refreshment and excludes aspartame, BHT and titanium dioxide commonly found in conventional chewing gum.
Available in classic flavors like Peppermint and Spearmint, plus Watermelon, Ginger and Cinnamon, Mastiqe's sugar-free chewing gum delivers a subtly sweet experience said to be more robust than other gum, and all thanks to ingredients like coconut oil and xylitol on top of a gum base and natural mastic.
