MRTP Renewal Filed for General Snus
On Nov. 30, 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration filed for scientific review modified-risk tobacco product (MRTP) renewal applications submitted by Swedish Match USA for General Snus smokeless tobacco products, including:
- General Loose;
- General Dry Mint Portion Original Mini;
- General Portion Original Large;
- General Classic Blend Portion White Large, 12 count;
- General Mint Portion White Large;
- General Nordic Mint Portion White Large, 12 count;
- General Portion White Large; and
- General Wintergreen Portion White Large.
In 2019, the FDA issued modified-risk granted orders for eight smokeless tobacco products made by Swedish Match USA. These orders expire in 2024. To continue marketing the MRTPs after the authorized five-year term, the company submitted an MRTP renewal application to the FDA.
Starting Dec. 1, the public may submit comments on these applications on regulations.gov.
