True Gum earns mixed reviews: the brand delights eco‑minded chewers with plastic‑free, vegan formulations, clean ingredients, and appealing flavors like Mint, Raspberry/Vanilla, Ginger, and Citron, but performance polarizes. Reviews praise refreshing taste and breath‑freshening, yet report rapid flavor fade, inconsistent texture that hardens or turns sticky, and occasional residue that clings to teeth or hands—one user calls it a messy hazard. For buyers, True Gum offers a sustainable, well‑designed alternative that works for light, natural flavor, but those seeking long‑lasting chew and conventional texture may be disappointed.

True Gum is a unique product (or at least to me), that comes in a nifty package and is square in nature. The gum flavour is subtle but is good to know that this is a plastic free gum; something I am trying to get away from is plastics in my life (it's hard, but at least I don't want to be ingesting it).
I read other people's reviews saying that True Gum had a weird texture and the flavour fades super fast. I was expecting a messy gum, but I was pleasantly surprised. I went for the Citron flavour and I found the texture to be pleasant and the flavour long lasting. I also loved the lemon, sorry "citron" flavour, a refreshing change from mint. I'd definitely buy again.

Really cool concept

A little bit too expensive but it taste good

I bought this a few years back and could t get i to it. The flavor and the texture just didn't do it for me. I would recommend this for anyone who is looking to break their chewing gum habit.
Love the mission, but I don't think I'll repurchase. I tried the ginger gum and while I didn't have a problem with the problem, the texture was really sticky and breaks apart easily. Several bits ended up sticking to my teeth/lips and it was kind of a mess.

Texture could be less messier / gumminess could be more enjoyable to chew
I think the flavors are nice, and so is the packaging etc.

The only problem for me would be the texture - but I suppose it's tough to match something natural to regular gum texture.
Beautiful branding, good assortment of flavours (I enjoy the ginger) and no plastic. In the packaging, or the gum itself. Wahey!

The texture of the gum is definitely a marked change from what you get at the grocery store. I didn't mind the initial chewing experience but found it hardens quite quickly. However, in saying that, it is nice to have an entirely plastic free alternative and I'm sure over time you might get used to it?
I love the idea of plastic free gum! but i wasn't very happy with the actual product - the gum quickly becomes very hard, and it just isn't a match with regular gum. The idea is there - but there is still a way to go on execution.

Texture should be softer and more chewy.
As soon as you've gotten used to the texture, the gums are really good. I have tried the raspberry and mint ones so far. I like that they have a not-too-artificial taste. + The packaging is really nice, the boxes feel good with the logo print printed on it.

Special tip: The same company does "True Mint"s - THESE are sooo good!
My favorite gum! I love the flavors and that the gum is vegan.

Lovely flavours. Didn’t raise my blood sugar, like most other sugar free gums usually do. Nice and clean ingredients.
Feedback
It’s VERY sticky! That might sound normal for gum but it literally stuck to my teeth and it was really hard to remove!

The ginger is good but is not the best gum I have ever tried.

Had the ginger turmeric one. I'd say the flavour didn't quite hit the mark, nor did it last very long. I don't mind the texture but it's a bit more tough than normal chewies. The flavour reminded me of those cheap chewies you get in showbags. I don't think I'll be trying them again.

This product is dangerous! I had a terrible experience. I removed it from my mouth into my palm after chewing, but the product just stuck to my hand, no amount of effort would remove the sticky mass. It went everywhere; my fingers, my phone, just anything I touched. Nothing would remove it. I had to interrupt everything and get home to use surgical spirit. Imagine a child using this product. It should be removed off the shelves of all retailers. I shall go to ´fresh and wild’ and report this.

I've tried the flavours "Mint" and "Raspberry/Vanilla" Overall: Not the greatest gum out there, would have ranked lower if I didn't believe the most important selling point is that it doesn't contain plastics. A small step towards a better future but a step nonetheless.
Feedback
Pros: - Good size - The flavour is good - Freshens up your breath - Doesn't contribute to the spreading of microplastics Cons: - Quickly lost flavour (to be fair, so does most gums) - A bit too soft in texture, ends up sticking to your teeth after not too long although doesn't fall apart - the taste of the gummi base without the artificial flavouring is rather odd

I love the idea of these gums. They taste very good and the texture is really nice. The reason I don't give so many points is that the taste fades very fast. I might be a bit spoiled but for the price of the gum I would llike to chew me heart out until i have to toss it.

Would love longer taste.

Love the concept, loved the look and the name, so I tested it. No sugar, no plastic, just perfect! In Germany, the brand is available at Denn's Organic stores.

I am fine with it all!
