    Gotland snus tends to be on the dry side. It splits the difference between a regular, and a white portion. I agree with Chad's assessment. Wintergreen is for the American market, so they use our retarded date system. Gotland's regular snus should have the proper dating system.

      Also, a way to tell if it is 'American format'. Check the ingredients list, if you can read it, there ya go. If its like "Vatten, Tobak, fuktighetsbevarande medel(E1520), koksalt, etc," you know it will be in the other format.

          Why did you bold "kok"? You like it don't you? lol

          It seems like you have two different snus cans with two different styles of dating, I believe they are probably not expired.

              Snus Question for experts

              I was just wondering, how long can snus last past its expiration date if you have it in the freezer? Does the date still count even if the product is frozen?

              regards,

                About a year I've heard but I have about 2 years supply in my freezer. Lol

                  regards,

                  Sealed containers should last pretty much indefinitely, especially
                  if you have them in vacuum-sealed Ziploc freezer bags.

                    You know, food items often say on their container, "refridgerate after opening", or "store frozen" etc, maybe not the exact wording, but snus cans don't say this at all. I'm kinda wondering if this freezer/fridge stuff is just hype. I'm keeping my new stuff room temp for now on.

                      I've had frozen snus that is a year past expiration that is still fine.

                        From what I understand, snus is plentiful and readily available in the
                        Scandinavian countries; stockpiling, as we here in the states have
                        done, is just not the norm over there.

                        We are the guinea pigs in this revolution, thanks to the PACTCRAP.

                          Ive used some pretty old snus in the past and as long as it was frozen it was fine. The freezing I believe ceases the action of the bacteria that create the sour taste that bad snus has..

                            Freezing also arrests any increase in TSNAs although even old bad snus is likely better in this regard than fresh dip.

                              You took the words right out of my mouth!!
                              Thankfully you left the snus!

                                Is snus supposed to be good at room temperature up to the expire date?

                                Of course freezing snus one would not go by the expire date any
                                more than one would with frozen meat. The expire date I am assuming
                                is for room temp snus. It's hard to know with all the fridge freaks, myself included.
