About Simply Gum
Simply Gum is a natural chewing-gum company founded in 2014 in New York City by Caron Proschan, who learned that conventional gum is chewed on a synthetic plastic base and began making batches in her apartment using tree-sap chicle. It makes natural gum, mints, and snack bars.
The brand's pitch is simple, fully disclosed ingredients with no synthetic plastic base and no artificial colors or flavors, and the founder describes it as female and AANHPI founded. Its vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, and kosher labels are stated by the brand rather than confirmed here in an issuing registry.
