Australian Food and Pharmaceutical Industries (AFPI) & MastChew – Innovating Health-Conscious, Sustainable Chewing Gum

Australian Food and Pharmaceutical Industries (AFPI) is a leader in natural, health-conscious products, with a strong commitment to sustainability and corporate responsibility. Our flagship brand, MastChew, is revolutionizing the chewing gum industry by offering a fully natural, biodegradable alternative that not only promotes oral health but also aligns with eco-conscious consumer values.

At AFPI, we believe that what we consume should contribute to both personal well-being and environmental sustainability. That’s why MastChew is formulated with 100% natural ingredients, free from artificial sweeteners, synthetic gums, and harmful chemicals. Made from mastic gum, a resin derived from the tree, our gum offers antimicrobial, digestive, and oral health benefits, making it an ideal choice for health-conscious consumers.

Sustainability is at the heart of our mission. Unlike conventional chewing gums that contain synthetic polymers (plastic-based ingredients), MastChew is fully biodegradable, ensuring it breaks down naturally without contributing to plastic pollution. By choosing MastChew, consumers help reduce the environmental impact of discarded chewing gum, a major contributor to urban waste.

Our commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) goes beyond creating sustainable products. We actively source our ingredients through ethical and responsible partnerships, ensuring that local communities benefit from our production process. Additionally, AFPI is dedicated to transitioning from HACCP to TGA compliance, further solidifying our role as a trusted manufacturer of functional, health-enhancing products.

As part of our continuous innovation, we are integrating functional ingredients such as vitamin D into our chewing gum range, providing added health benefits while maintaining our clean-label, natural promise. This makes MastChew not only a delicious, long-lasting gum alternative but also a functional health product that supports consumers’ well-being.

AFPI and MastChew stand for more than just great taste—we represent a shift towards a healthier, more sustainable future. With every chew, we promote better oral health, digestive support, and environmental responsibility. Our mission is to offer products that nourish both people and the planet, reinforcing our commitment to health, sustainability, and ethical business practices.
