According to reports, the popular Certs breath mint was officially discontinued in 2018, nearly 62 years after its introduction. The main reason they discontinued making Certs was the federal ban on a key ingredient in its proprietary formula, Retsyn. This article explores the specifics of that ban, its impact on the company, and the broader context of the product's decline.

Certs mints were officially discontinued by Mondelez International in 2018, largely due to an FDA ban on partially hydrogenated oils. However, as of May 2025, the brand has been relaunched under a new partnership with Nature's Stance, meaning you can now get Certs candy again, with an updated, clean-label formula.
