The good-for-your-teeth
lollipop now has a three times longer shelf life and are even
healthier, with a lower glycemic response (the effect a food has on
blood sugar levels after consumption).
The new formula is
still gluten and GMO-free, and contains no sugar. Morse's Zollipops
actually neutralize acid and help reduce the risk of tooth decay, dental
caries and cavities, by raising the pH (a scale used to measure acidic
or base qualities) in the mouth.
"One of the greatest
challenges for tooth-friendly candy is stability," said the young
entrepreneur. "We listened to our customers and never stopped trying to
find that perfect formula that tasted great and was good for you, while
lasting longer. We found it!"
After two years of
trials, the fourth grader Morse and her team came up with the final
formula that makes Zollipops able to be shared in candy jars, while
remaining fresh. Morse is shipping out the new suckers to schools,
dentists, Amazon, ToysRUs, and other retail partners.
"This new technology
helps make our Zollipops available to more kids and adults; anytime,
anywhere," Morse said. "Now, we are even closer to achieving our goal of
reducing tooth decay in children and adults. Everyone should be able to
enjoy a sweet treat AND a healthy smile."
A guilt-free
indulgence, Morse's Zollipops have become the No. 1 selling sugar-free
lollipop on Amazon.com. She and her cavity-fighting candies have
appeared on "Good Morning America" the "Steve Harvey" show, and made it
to No. 3 on the Forbes' list of "Top Ten Emerging Food Trends." She is
also featured as part of Ripley's Believe It or Not! Special Edition
2017 book, published by Scholastic.
Zollipops have
partnered with the Special Olympics for their "Special Smiles" program
and have donated more than 250,000 healthy lollipops in support of the
ADA.
