Zolli Candy in Walled Lake is introducing what it calls the world’s first zero-sugar gum pop. Called the Zolli Gum PopZ, the candy will be available for purchase this month.
“Being the first company to do anything is exciting, but we are especially proud to create a smile-saving treat that tastes so good and that everyone can enjoy,” says Alina Morse, 18, and founder of Zolli Candy.
“Blowing bubbles while supporting healthy smiles with Zolli Gum PopZ has been a dream for over five years. We have worked tirelessly to perfect these for everyone to love and share.”
The product debuts as part of a double strawberry with bubble-making zero sugar gum inside, and zero sugar hard candy outside. The confection was created to offer people crunchy, chewy candy that is bursting with natural fruit flavor.
Zolli Gum PopZ joins Zolli Candy’s line of candies that are sugar-free candy and sold on Amazon. They are among the top 50 of all candy and chocolate on the site and named by Inc. magazine for four years straight as “America’s Fastest Growing Candy Company.”
The company also sells Zollipops; Zaffi Keto Taffy, a sugar free chewy candy; Zolli Keto Pops; Zolli Drops; Zaffi Taffy; Zolli PB Cups; Zolli Carmalez; Zolli Gummeez; and Zolli Ball PopZ.
Forbes named Zolli’s Zollipops as one of “Top 10 Emerging Food Trends” and People magazine named it as part of their “People Great Ideas.” Morse was the youngest person to ever appear on the cover of Entrepreneur magazine.
Her Zolli Candy products are certified sugar-free by Sugarwise, Keto-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, non-GMO, free of the top seven allergens, and gives 10 percent of profits through the Million Smiles Initiative to help fight America’s most chronic childhood disease — tooth decay.
