Seventh grader’s teeth-friendly candy hits Walmart shelves
Zollipops, the Clean Teeth Pops are just the latest product to hit Walmart’s oral health section. The retailer announced plans to distribute the product, which was created by 12-year-old Alina Morse, after it was selected at the Bentonville, Ark.-based company’s open call for U.S. products.
“Honestly, I still can’t believe it,” Morse said. “When I was seven I was at the bank with my dad and I had this idea that we could have candy that was good for our teeth and could help people. For Walmart to believe in my product and vision to give back, is so inspiring. And for both Zollipops and Zaffi Taffy to be chosen from the open call just goes to show that kids really can do anything!”
Zollipop’s are natural, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan and non-GMO. Each product contains healthy sugar alternatives xylitol and erythritol, and are certified sugar-free by Sugarwise. By helping raise pH in the mouth, Zollipops neutralize acid and help reduce the risk of tooth decay, dental caries and the future development of cavities.
Aside from lollipops, the line also offers Zolli Drops, which offer the same oral health benefits as the lollipops just without the stick. They are available in natural fruit or peppermint flavors.
Zollipops commits 10% of profits to support an increase in oral health education in schools, and helps fight tooth campaign. Morse also has the 250,000 Smiles campaign, which gives away the product to schools and dentists who promote oral health education. Further information can be found on the company’s website.
