Ahh, CG..! It's been awhile since you've popped in. Don't go Rooski on me, drop in more often!

Heya Crow, yeah, been busy and lurking

Really, I don't know. I do think that pasteurization and refrigeration help but would I still buy Odens that was left out? Yes, because it is still way safer than smoking. I do freeze my snus but once I open a can I leave it out. What I do find off is that I can find very little in the way of scientific analysis about this.

The issue here is the manufacturing process............pasteurization arrests the development of further TSNAs....... The snus may dry out over time......... but unlike dip.....it will not increase in TNSA with shelf life

Odens may use a different production process (GN will have to enlighten us further)......however.......what we already know about GN snus is that......... if the process they use varies too much from the standard norm.....Oden's.... by law.... could not be sold as snus in Sweden.

So my bet is that Oden's is fine though its rate of shelf elevated TNSA may vary slightly (and insignificantly) from straight pasteurized snus.............Hey GN fill us in here bro!

In the end....snus (regardless of the brand) that sits in sun or on a shelf for an extended period of time will taste inferior to properly stored snus.

For dip refrigeration inhibits the increase of TNSA

For Snus it simply locks in the moisture and keeps the snus fresh longer
