Dear Steven,

Thank you for contacting us about animal ingredients and our products.

To answer to your question, the vast majority of Wrigley products sold in the
U.S. as of August 27, 2008 are free from ingredients of animal origin, including
egg and dairy products. At present, the only chewing gum exceptions are Extra®
Polar Ice, Orbit Crystal Mint and Juicy Fruit® pellet gums.

Extra® Polar Ice gum and Orbit® Crystal Mint contain tiny flavor beads
encased in a microscopic layer of gelatin, which is animal based. We have
requested the development of a gelatin-free flavor bead that is currently being
worked on by our supplier. Juicy Fruit Grapermelon and Strappleberry gums use
shellac as a coating agent.

The different varieties of our Altoids mints do contain very small quantities
of gelatin which is derived from pork. Gelatin does not impart any flavor to
Altoids, but it's a necessary ingredient for the texture of the mint. When
we use gelatin it is thoroughly purified and dried during its manufacturing
process. Our staff is continually looking at alternatives to animal gelatin,
but at the moment we've not been able to find a substitute that produces the
same quality you've come to love with Altoids.

Our LifeSaver gummies do contain small quantities of gelatin, which is also
derived from pork. It follows the same drying and purifying process as with the
Altoids.

If your diet does not allow you to consume animal byproducts such as dairy, our
CremeSaver line does contain cream, which is a dairy byproduct. On the same
note, our LifeSaver Fusions and LifeSaver gummies may produced on the same line
as our CremeSavers, so there is a chance that they may contain trace amounts of
dairy as well. However, we will place a warning on the package if this is the
case.

We hope this information has been helpful. If you have any additional
questions or comments please feel free to contact us at 1-800-WRIGLEY Monday
through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CST.

Sincerely,

Angela Brooks
Consumer Affairs Representative
