<\/a><\/a>Under the orders, these nicotine pouch products, which have been authorized for sale in the U.S. since January 2025, may now be marketed with the following modified risk claim:<\/p>
\u201cUsing ZYN instead of cigarettes puts you at a lower risk of mouth cancer, heart disease, lung cancer, stroke, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis.\u201d<\/p>
The authorization is limited to 10 ZYN flavors\u2014Chill, Cinnamon, Citrus, Coffee, Cool Mint, Menthol, Peppermint, Smooth, Spearmint, and Wintergreen\u2014each in 3 mg and 6 mg strengths. It does not apply to ZYN generally, to other ZYN products or strengths, or to any other nicotine pouch brand. It also does not mean that ZYN is safe, risk-free, FDA-approved, or approved for smoking cessation.<\/p>
\u201cFDA\u2019s decision is a milestone for adults who smoke because it brings more clarity to an industry and a category where adult consumers often need to double click on the information available when selecting alternative nicotine products,\u201d said Gabriel De Prado, President, U.S. Market at Haypp Group. \u201cPeople want to know what is true, what the rules allow, and what a product claim means before they make a choice about nicotine pouches. At Haypp Group, we take that seriously. Our goal is simple: to give verified adult nicotine consumers who are 21 and older a secure place to shop, clear information they can use, and a marketplace they can trust.\u201d<\/p>
The authorization follows FDA\u2019s review of scientific evidence, including the products\u2019 health risks, consumer understanding of the claim, potential youth impacts, and broader population-level considerations. FDA concluded that the claim is scientifically accurate for the authorized products and is understood by consumers. The orders remain subject to FDA-imposed marketing conditions and post-market surveillance requirements.<\/p>
