On September 14, 2018, FDA filed for substantive scientific review of one Modified Risk Tobacco Product (MRTP) Application from U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company for Copenhagen Snuff Fine Cut, a loose moist snuff smokeless tobacco product. Copenhagen Snuff Fine Cut is a grandfathered tobacco product, and, therefore, it is not subject to the requirement for premarket review under section 910 of the FD&C Act. Copenhagen Snuff Fine Cut, without modified risk information, is currently available to U.S. tobacco consumers.
