    Altria Client Services submitted premarket tobacco product applications to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for 35 On! products on behalf of Helix Innovations LLC, an Altria joint venture responsible for manufacturing and selling On! nicotine pouches globally.

    On! products are offered in seven flavors and five nicotine levels for adult tobacco consumers seeking alternatives to traditional tobacco products.

    “On! nicotine pouches are a key part of our vision to responsibly lead the transition of adult smokers to a noncombustible future,” said Paige Magness, senior vice president of regulatory affairs for Altria Client Services. “We believe the supporting science is strong and are committed to working with the agency on these important product submissions.”

    Black Buffalo, a company that makes and sells smokeless tobacco alternative products, has raised $9.75 million in growth capital. Investors included prominent financial companies such as Pendyne Capital, Watchfire Ventures and Open Pantry Food Marts. Black Buffalo plans to use this capital to expand its marketing presence, upgrade its manufacturing capacity, increase its online distribution and launch into convenience stores and physical retail outlets throughout the United States.

    With proceeds from this capital raise, Black Buffalo has assembled premarket tobacco product applications for its entire product portfolio, which the company intends to submit to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Tobacco Products in the coming months. Additionally, Black Buffalo has purchased and expects a second quarter 2020 delivery of a high-throughput pouch maker from one of the world’s leading industrial manufacturers.
