Health Canada issues recall notice for unauthorized nicotine pouches
Health Canada issued a recall notice for unauthorized nicotine pouches sold in Canada, including various flavors like blueberry mint and cola.

According to a report from CTV News on June 15th, Health Canada issued a recall notice on Friday (the 14th) for multiple brands of nicotine pouches that were sold in Canada without authorization. The recall involves 4mg and 6mg nicotine pouches produced by the Swedish nicotine pouch brand XQS.


The recalled nicotine pouches were sold in various flavors, including blueberry mint, green mint, cola, and tropical. Just earlier this week, Zyn nicotine pouches were also recalled in Canada for being sold without authorization.


The Canadian Health Department advises consumers to check if their nicotine pouches are affected by this recall and to consult a healthcare provider before stopping use or experiencing any health issues.
