Access.gpo.gov. Archived from the original on 2011-07-21 . Retrieved 2012-01-04. Koenigshof and her co-authors examined records of 192 dogs known or suspected to have eaten products containing xylitol. Of the 192 cases, 122 dogs (+63%) were hospitalized for supportive care and 30 dogs (+15%) became hypoglycaemic at some point during evaluation at a veterinary teaching hospital.” There are 2,000 mg of sugar alcohols (xylitol and sorbitol) in 6 pieces of that gum. Assuming the worst-case scenario – that nearly 2,000 mg of xylitol are in 6 pieces, there would be 1,333 mg in 4 pieces. 1,333 mg/45 lbs = 29.6 mg/lb of xylitol. Hypoglycaemia arises at doses greater than 35-45 mg/lb and so she should remain safe. There’s no need to induce emesis or treat in any manner.”

There are several reasons why people believe that Tic Tacs may contain alcohol. First, the flavor of Tic Tacs is very similar to that of alcoholic beverages. In addition, the ingredients list for Tic Tacs does not include anything that would rule out the possibility of alcohol being present.In the United States, the sugar content of Tic Tacs is listed as 0 g despite the mints being approximately 90% sugar (depending on the flavor). [22] This stems from the fact that a serving size is one 0.49 g mint, and the American Food and Drug Administration permits manufacturers to list sugar (or other nutritional components) as 0 g if they contain less than 0.5 g. [20] In at least some jurisdictions, the 0 g now features a footnote that clarifies "less than 0.5 g". [21] See also [ edit ] Tic Tacs are usually sold in small transparent plastic boxes with a flip-action living hinge lid. Originally, Tic Tacs were dyed specific colours for different flavours, although in many countries the transparent plastic boxes are now coloured and the actual Tic Tacs are white.

A customer service agent for Tic Tacs’ parent company, Ferrero, wrote to me that some tic tacs contain carmine and/or shellac which are not vegan, and some candy cane Tic Tacs contain dairy, but all other flavors are vegan. They also wrote that Ferrero does not use sugar or other ingredients that have been processed through bone char or animal rennet, and they do not do any animal testing. 1 Can dogs eat mint Tic Tacs? Dogs should not eat any form of Tic Tac candy or gum.

They were first produced in 1969 and are now available in a variety of flavours in over 100 countries.In Canada, orange Tic Tacs are actually white, and they come in a see-thru plastic container.
