Tom Tom Candy Menthol 200 G
High sugar content offers little nutrition despite menthol's soothing benefit; best enjoyed occasionally.
Choking hazard for children under 6 years. Excessive consumption may cause stomach discomfort or laxative effects. Avoid if allergic to menthol or mint.
What's the verdict?
Classic hard menthol candy popular in West Africa, offering a strong minty taste and cooling sensation as a snack or for minor throat comfort. Primarily sugar-based with added menthol for refreshment, it is not a medicinal product but a traditional treat.
Ingredients
5 listed · 5 flagged · estimated by AI, check the label- Sugar (Sweetener)Caution
Primary carbohydrate source delivering quick energy but frequent intake promotes tooth decay, blood sugar spikes, weight gain, and increased risk of metabolic disorders like diabetes.
- Glucose Syrup (Sweetener/Bulking Agent)Caution
Starch-derived additive for texture and prolonged sweetness; high glycemic load can lead to energy crashes, insulin resistance concerns, and contributes to overall empty calorie intake.

Provides refreshing mint sensation that temporarily relieves sore throat and nasal congestion; beneficial in moderation for respiratory comfort but excess may irritate mucous membranes or cause heartburn.
- Peppermint Oil (Natural Flavoring)Caution
Adds authentic mint aroma with mild digestive and antimicrobial benefits; supports the soothing profile but can trigger allergies or nausea in sensitive individuals when overconsumed.
- Citric Acid (Acidulant)Caution
Used to balance flavor and preserve freshness; generally safe but may erode tooth enamel with frequent exposure or cause mild stomach irritation in those with acid sensitivity.
