Does gum contain nuts or soy?

Gum usually does not contain nuts or soy. However, it is important to check the ingredient list carefully before consuming gum, as some specialty or niche variety of gum may contain nut or soy ingredients. If you are allergic or intolerant to nuts or soy, it is best to avoid any gums containing these ingredients. Additionally, some gums which contain "gum arabic" may be derived from the acacia tree which may contain soy depending on how the gum is produced.
