Shelf life
How to keep snus fresh
The shelf life of snus depends on a number of factors i.e. the water content. A lower moisture level results in a longer shelf life. Moist snus has a limited shelf life and should not be kept in room temperature for more that a couple of weeks. Dry portion packs, however, do not have this limitation.
The general recommendation is to keep moist snus refrigerated. The snus will then be very stable and can be kept for several weeks.
To keep snus for a longer period it should be frozen and you can keep it for at least a year. To avoid frozen snus from drying out you should freeze it in a freezing bag. Thawing of snus in cardboard cans should be done in a refrigerator, thus eliminating the condensation water to dissolve the glue in the can. Plastic cans are not sensitive to external moisture and can be thawed in room temperature.
