Is Wrigley's Doublemint Vegeterian?

Question

Are the doublemints and Big Reds available in the U.S. vegeterian or does it use animal byproducts.

Answer 1

As far as I can tell (getting the ingredients off of the Wrigley's website and looking them up on Wikipedia), the gums you mention may not be vegan, or even vegetarian. "Gum base", one of the listed ingredients, may or may not contain animal-derived ingredients such as lanolin (non-vegan) or stearic acid (non-vegetarian).

From the Vegetarian Resource Group:

" Most chewing gums innocuously list "gum base" as one of their ingredients, masking the fact that petroleum, lanolin, glycerin, polyethylene, polyvinyl acetate, petroleum wax, stearic acid, and latex (a possible allergen) may be among the components.
Because of standards of identity for items such as gum base and flavoring, manufacturers are not required to list everything in their product.
According to Dertoline, a French chemical manufacturer, their adhesive "dercolytes" are used as a label and tape adhesive, as well as a chewing gum base.
Many brands also list glycerin and glycerol as ingredients on the label.
Both of them can be animal derived."

Answer 2

No animal byproducts. It's chewing gum for crying out loud. I could see maybe if it were beef flavored or something like that but almost all chewing gum is made out of gum and sugar.
