How best-before dates, heat, moisture and an opened can affect pouch quality.

Quick answer

Nicotine pouches carry a best-before or expiry indication from the manufacturer and should be stored according to the pack. Keep the can sealed, dry and away from heat and direct sunlight. Do not use damaged, contaminated or unusually changed pouches, and do not rely on a retailer article to override the labelled date.

Key facts

  • Use the date and storage directions on the can.
  • Heat and an unsealed can can affect moisture and flavour.
  • Dispose of damaged or contaminated pouches.

After opening

Close the lid firmly after each use and avoid leaving the can in a hot car or direct sun. Different formulations retain moisture differently, so the manufacturer’s instructions remain the best guide.

Common misconception

Refrigeration is not a universal requirement for every nicotine-pouch brand.
