Vicks Sugarfree Chewing Gum

This product is Vicks sugar-free chewing gum, often identified by its menthol-based active ingredients designed to provide respiratory freshness. The barcode 8723400940982 belongs to the Dutch prefix range, indicating it is distributed via the Netherlands-based office of Perfetti Van Melle. While the Vicks brand was originally an American concept created by Lunsford Richardson for pharmaceutical products, the chewing gum range is a licensing and production collaboration managed by international confectionery giants.

Today, the manufacturing occurs across various global facilities to meet regional demand. The ultimate ownership of the Vicks brand name lies with Procter & Gamble (P&G), an American multinational consumer goods corporation. However, the specific gum products are often produced or distributed under license by Perfetti Van Melle, a prominent Italian-Dutch global manufacturer of confectionery and gum.
