To mark a start of a new year, four new products earned the Toothfriendly quality seal. These products can be consumed with assurance that they are safe for teeth and contribute to oral health according to Toothfriendly requirements.
Basel, January 2019
The following products may now carry the Toothfriendly seal:
- Stimorol Cool Candy
- Ökoase children's toothpaste
- Erythritol sweetener
- Bazooka chewing gum
The Toothfriendly accreditation means that the product meets high standards: only products that contribute to oral health may carry the Toothfriendly label. Foods, medicinal products and food ingredients can be considered safe for teeth if they are neither cariogenic nor erosive. These "Toothfriendly" properties are determined in a standardized in vivo plaque pH-telemetry test conducted by independent University Dental Institutes.
Oral care products must demonstrate safety and efficacy according to requirements set by Toothfriendly International. Children's toothpaste products must, for example, contain 500 ppm bioavailable fluoride.
