Is gum a food?

So me and my brother just had an argument about whether gum was a food or not. I think you’re not supposed to swallow it, it doesn’t count as a food. My brother thinks as long as it enters your mouth, it counts as food. Let me know who you think is right!

Everything is a food if you try it

your brother's right but his logic is wrong

gum uses food-grade ingredients, which makes it a food

I dunno. I think for something to be a food, it has to enter your stomach

What I mean is, if it is meant to be swallowed, then it’s food. If it’s not meant to be swallowed, it’s not food.

but gum is meant to be eaten and dirt is not meant to be eaten

do ppl sell dirt as food?

Avatar of Ryuha01

Food is not determined by selling it, I determined if you can "eat" it, I heard some people eat the entire plane for world records...

I don’t think gum is a food, because it doesn’t give you any nutrition or any kind of anything, really. But, to counter that, there’s sugar and I think some calories in there, so…if I accidentally swallow gum, with your logic, is it food then? I just consider gum as its own category. It isn’t a food and it isn’t NOT a food. I dunno
