About Biodent
Biodent is the chewing gum Masterfoodeh makes in pellets and mini-sticks, sweetened with xylitol for its effect on tooth decay. Shaker Top comes in cinnamon, mint, eucalyptus and peppermint; the Mega Pack adds strawberry, watermelon, banana, tropical and melon. The company developed it with Turkish producers and explicitly positions it against the smuggled and often expired gum sold in Iran, arguing that a good product at an affordable price is the answer to that trade.
