[thebeatlesk]

Is GN the only one who uses heat pasturization? I want to make sure what i'm using is only steam products.

Thanks.

My Dear brother What Do you know about produktion of Swedish snus?

[Darwin]

Most snus companies do use steam pasteurization with GN being one of the few exceptions but even so the TSNA levels in non-steam snus varieties are far below those of dip, and of course wildly lower than any smoked product, so any concerns over this issue are basically unwarranted.

The curing method of tobacco is FAR more important than the preparation. The question is "air cured or not", and AFAIK, all snus makers use air cured tobacco.

To answer your question, I suspect Gellivare Snus uses fermentation rather than steam pasteurization due to their very small size, but I'm only guessing. I have no issues using their, or GN's snus, and you shouldn't either.

I understand your concern even if as it appears no one else cares. I was sold on the Idea of steam pasteurization not only because of the low TSNA level initially but because when that process is used the TSNA's don't climb as it sits on the shelf. To answer your question I believe that In addition to GN Pioneer Snuff which is made in Laos is also not steam pasteurized. I am not saying anyone else should care if it is or not but I do and it looks like you do as well.

Exactly. I just want to use the safest product possible to get my nic fix.

Then use nasal snuff.

[timholian]

Then use nasal snuff.

Or e-cigs

[thebeatlesk]

Then use nasal snuff.

I do use nasal snuff on occasion, but it seems to a aggravate my sinusitis. Snus is also more enjoyable.

[tom502]

Nasal snuff does get me stuffed up at times. But I do believe it is considered the safest tobacco usage method.

People on here will tell you rightfully that GN is ok and they are correct but I agree with you and that's my right as a consumer. I choose steam pasteurized snus because it's lower in the things I don't want in MY snus and it holds it low values longer than fermented snus.. It does.. That's a fact!! Look.. Even some American dip starts out low in TSNA's bit they climb quickly.. It's Your right to want what you want and more power to you..

Dear ABW From where did you get That GN s produkts climb in TSNA SIR ???

[Experimental Monkey]

In my opinion fermented tobacco tastes better.

I Never said that GN's Products did... I said they were ok but everyone has a right to choose what type of product they want.. That's all..

In Fermented products here in the USA the levels of TSNA's continue to climb after they manufactured. This is one of the reasons why copenhagen is pulled from the shelf every 30 days..
