'How can I wrap text wrapping on a jquery datatable?

I'm trying to display some long text with help of a datatable, but somehow it is not beeing wraped. This means that instead of getting multiple rows of my text, I just get a long line. When I go to my DB and edit my Description field (Field type is text), I can see the text in multiple rows.

I already tried fixing the width of the table to 100%, but then the text line just keeps going outside the table. I also tried adding word-wrap and flex-wrap, and defining a text-wrap class on my CSS, but it also didn't work.

Any idea how can I solve this? 

  <div style="font-size:18px;">
    <table class="table-striped table-hover" id="product_table" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
      <thead>
        <tr>
          <th>Name</th>
          <th>Group</th>
          <th>Price</th>
          <th>Action</th>
          <th class="none">Description DE</th>
          <th class="none">Description EN</th>
          <th class="none">Description ES</th>
        </tr>
      </thead>
      <tbody>
        @foreach($ProductList as $product)
        <tr>
          <td>{{$product['ProductName']}}</td>
          <td>{{$product['ProductGroupName']}}</td>
          <td>{{$product['ProductListPrice']}}</td>
          <td ><button class="btn btn-primary waves-effect w-md waves-light w-sm-5" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#Edit" data-id="{{$product['ProductID']}}" data-name="{{$product['ProductName']}}" data-group="{{$product['ProductGroupName']}}"
              data-price="{{$product['ProductListPrice']}}" data-descde="{{$product['ProductDescriptionDE']}}" data-descen="{{$product['ProductDescriptionEN']}}" data-desces="{{$product['ProductDescriptionES']}}">Edit</button>
          <td>{{$product['ProductDescriptionDE']}}</td>
          <td>{{$product['ProductDescriptionEN']}}</td>
          <td>{{$product['ProductDescriptionES']}}</td>
          </td>
        </tr>
        @endforeach
      </tbody>
    </table>
  </div>

  <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
      $('#product_table').DataTable({
        columnDefs: [{
          "className": "dt-center",
          "targets": "_all"
        }],
        pageLength: 50,
        responsive: true
      });
    });
  </script>
