ZYN Red Berry Fizz Nicotine Pouches

ZYN Red Berry Fizz puts tart red berries together with a hint of lemon, and the UK line up keeps it simple: 11mg in the Slim pouch. Every can carries 21 pouches at 14.7g net, with no tobacco leaf in any of them. Swedish Match North Europe AB, part of Philip Morris International, makes them.

What Red Berry Fizz tastes like

The berries lead and they lean tart rather than jammy, which is the character of this one. A hint of lemon runs alongside and lifts the sharpness further, giving the fizz in the name its meaning. It is bright rather than sweet, and no menthol is involved, so the freshness comes from the citrus edge.

Anyone who prefers red fruit rounder and less acidic should look at ZYN Red Fruits Nicotine Pouches, the closest comparison in the range. Weigh both against the rest of our ZYN collection, or look further afield in nicotine pouches.

Mini or Slim, and which one this is

Two physical pouch bodies exist across the ZYN range, and this flavour is made in only one. Red Berry Fizz is a Slim, the size ZYN sometimes labels Regular. The pouch weighs 0.7g, has a slightly moist surface, sits long and flat against the upper gum and begins releasing early rather than building over time. You get 21 in a can, and the lid is marked with 3 to 6 dots.

The other body is the Mini. At 0.4g it is dry to the touch instead of damp, short enough to go unnoticed in conversation, and its release is slower and spread over a longer stretch. A Mini can holds 20 pouches with up to 2 dots on the lid.

The formats meet between 6mg and 9mg, and that is where the pouch swaps over: 6mg is the last Mini, 9mg the first Slim. At 11mg this flavour sits on the Slim side, so no smaller version of it exists.

What the strength numbers mean

The 11mg on the front of this can refers to a single pouch, not to a gram of pouch material. Some competing brands quote per gram, which makes a straight comparison of numbers meaningless unless you know the convention.

Convert it and the picture clears. Eleven milligrams spread through a 0.7g Slim pouch comes out at about 15.7mg of nicotine for every gram of pouch, a middle rung on the ZYN ladder.

How to use ZYN pouches

1. Remove one pouch from the upper part of the can and slide it under your top lip.
2. Keep it still. There is no need to chew, and you should never swallow it.
3. Expect a noticeable tingle at the start, which softens after the first few minutes.
4. Take it out at around 30 minutes and tuck it into the lid compartment, built in for holding used pouches until disposal.

ZYN Red Berry Fizz Nicotine Pouches FAQs

Is ZYN snus?

Plenty of people search for it that way, but no. Snus is a tobacco leaf product and is not legal to sell in the UK in oral form. ZYN has no tobacco leaf at all, which is precisely why it is available here.

How many are in a can?

There are 21 to a can, 14.7g of pouches in total.

How long should I leave one in?

ZYN puts it at around 30 minutes.

What is the difference between the Mini and the Slim?

Mini is a dry 0.4g pouch, 20 to a can, with a gradual release. Slim, which is what you get here, is a slightly moist 0.7g pouch, 21 to a can, with a faster one.

Safety and age restriction

Nicotine is an addictive drug. These pouches are sold to adults aged 18 and above and are intended for current nicotine users only. Anyone who does not already use nicotine should not start with them, and they must not be used by anyone pregnant or breastfeeding. There is no such thing as a risk free nicotine product. Children and pets must not be able to reach them, and you should stop straight away if using one makes you feel unwell.
