About Us
AFPI is dedicated to producing innovative foods made from 100% natural ingredients. Our ethos is to ensure everything we produce serves a healthy purpose.
AFPI is well known for Mast Chew; a natural, organic and sugar-free chewing gum. Unlike other gums, our gum base is neither synthetic (petroleum) nor latex (chicle), rather it is Mastic tree resin. The gum base is then sweetened with xylitol and naturally flavoured with essential oils.
Our founder and CEO, Dr. Sharif Sharifi has applied his knowledge and experience to create a unique range of products that reflects the intrinsic relationship between food and science.
