Kruidvat Peppermint Chewing Gum

Kruidvat Peppermint Chewing Gum is a private-label product offered by the prominent Dutch drugstore chain, Kruidvat. Originally founded in the Netherlands in 1975, Kruidvat has grown into a market leader in the health and beauty sector across the Benelux region. The gum is a sugar-free confectionery product formulated with xylitol for dental benefits and is typically manufactured within the Netherlands or neighboring European countries to supply their extensive retail network.

While Kruidvat began as a family-owned Dutch enterprise under the De Rijcke family, it was acquired in 2002 by the A.S. Watson Group. This parent company is a globally recognized health and beauty retailer. A.S. Watson Group itself is a subsidiary of CK Hutchison Holdings Limited, a massive multinational conglomerate based in Hong Kong. This ownership structure places the Kruidvat brand within an expansive international network while maintaining its strong local identity and manufacturing ties in Europe.
