Breath Mints in Mints

Are breath mints sugar-free?

Almost all breath mints have added sugar, an artificial sweetener, or a sugar alcohol like xylitol. Even though most breath mints are labeled as "sugar free" they are still almost entirely one of those listed sugar substances. However, they are so small that the daily value of sugar they represent is negligible.

What is the shelf life of breath mints?

If you keep breath mints in a cool, dry place, they should be fresh and last about a year after being opened. If they have an off smell, taste off or have no flavor, or have visual scenes of mold or fungus, you should discard them immediately.

Are breath mints vegan?

Many brands of breath mints contain gelatin, which derives from animal fat, making them not a suitable option for those who want to eat vegan. Look for brands labeled as vegan or do not contain gelatin as an ingredient in the breath mint brand.
