All Wrigley gums are brushed with a rolling powder before they are placed in their wrappers that keep them fresh. On our sugar sweetened brands a granulated sugar, which looks like confectionary sugar, is used. On sugarfree gums a dusting of sugar substitute is used. The amount of rolling powder varies from product to product.
