Clorets

Summary

Clorets is a line of chewing gum and mints made by Cadbury Adams. It was introduced in 1951. Clorets gum and candy contain Actizol, a proprietary ingredient that contains chlorophyll, which purportedly acts as an active ingredient to eliminate mouth odors.[1] Clorets was originally owned by American Chicle, then by Warner-Lambert in 1962 under its Adams division until Pfizer took over in 2000.[2] The Adams division was sold to Cadbury-Schweppes in 2002, which is now known as Cadbury Adams (later acquired by Kraft Foods).
