New ZYN Flavors (2026): Every US Launch, Dated
In 2026, three new ZYN flavors joined the standard US lineup: Black Cherry, Peach, and Dragonberry, each in 3 mg and 6 mg, bringing the total to 13 flavors. The bigger launch was ZYN Ultra, a moist, 20-pouch-per-can line in 8 flavors at 9 mg and 11 mg, which reached US retailers on June 15, 2026. On August 21, the FDA authorized 11 ZYN Ultra products through the PMTA pathway.
Below is every confirmed 2026 US launch, dated and sourced, so you can stop guessing which cans are actually new.
2026 ZYN US Launch Timeline
| Date | What Launched | Flavors | Strengths | Line | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 15, 2026 | ZYN Ultra (online first via Nicokick, Northerner) | Wintergreen Blast, Arctic Mint, Peppermint Frost, Fresh Spearmint, Citrus Zest, Menthol Ice, Signature Smooth, Chill Mist | 9 mg (first wave) | Ultra (moist, 20 pouches/can) | Haypp Group / Businesswire |
| Late June 2026 | ZYN Ultra 11 mg rollout | Same 8 flavors | 11 mg (second wave) | Ultra | Tobacco Insider |
| Late June to late July 2026 | Black Cherry, Peach, Dragonberry added to standard dry lineup | Black Cherry, Peach, Dragonberry | 3 mg, 6 mg | Standard (dry, 15 pouches/can) | Tobacco Insider (July 23, 2026); Mipouch |
| June 30, 2026 | FDA modified-risk orders for 20 standard ZYN products (not a product launch, but regulatory context) | Chill, Cinnamon, Citrus, Coffee, Cool Mint, Menthol, Peppermint, Smooth, Spearmint, Wintergreen (3 mg and 6 mg each) | 3 mg, 6 mg | Standard | FDA MRTP page |
| Aug 21, 2026 | FDA marketing granted orders for 11 ZYN Ultra products (PMTA, not modified-risk) | 10 flavors at 9 mg + Smooth at 11 mg | 9 mg, 11 mg (Smooth only) | Ultra | FDA CTP Newsroom |
A note on the fruit-flavor dates: sources disagree on exactly when Black Cherry, Peach, and Dragonberry hit shelves. A reviewer reported receiving them in late June, while Tobacco Insider's launch article is dated July 23, 2026. The range "late June to late July 2026" is the honest answer.
What Are the New ZYN Flavors?
Three fruit flavors joined ZYN's standard US dry lineup in 2026, each available in 3 mg and 6 mg. All three are confirmed as permanent additions on us.zyn.com/all-products.
Black Cherry
A dark cherry profile with a tart undertone. Black Cherry existed in the Swedish ZYN lineup for years before making the jump to the US, so the recipe is not new to Swedish Match, just new to American shelves.
Peach
A sweet, straightforward peach. Also imported from the Scandinavian lineup. If you have tried ZYN Citrus and wished it leaned more stone-fruit than citrus-peel, Peach is the closest option.
Dragonberry
A dragonfruit and mixed berry blend. Unlike the other two, Dragonberry did not exist in the Swedish market before 2026. Reviewers have compared the taste to a Red Bull-esque berry sweetness.
These three additions bring the standard dry US lineup to 13 flavors across 2 strengths (26 SKUs total).
ZYN Ultra: The Bigger 2026 Launch
ZYN Ultra is not just a stronger ZYN. It is a separate product line with different physical characteristics.
Format differences from standard ZYN:
- Moist pouch (standard ZYN is dry/semi-dry)
- 20 pouches per can (standard ZYN has 15)
- Built-in disposal compartment in the lid
- Higher nicotine strengths: 9 mg and 11 mg (standard ZYN tops out at 6 mg)
All 8 ZYN Ultra Flavors
- Wintergreen Blast
- Arctic Mint
- Peppermint Frost
- Fresh Spearmint
- Citrus Zest
- Menthol Ice
- Signature Smooth
- Chill Mist
The 9 mg variants launched June 15, 2026, with 11 mg following later that month. For the full strength-by-strength breakdown and pricing, see our ZYN Ultra review vs. regular ZYN.
The FDA Authorization (and What It Does Not Cover)
On August 21, 2026, the FDA issued marketing granted orders for 11 ZYN Ultra products through the PMTA pathway. The authorized products are all 9 mg variants (Chill, Citrus, Cool Mint, Deep Freeze, Menthol, Peppermint, Smooth, Spearmint, Wintergreen Chill, Wintergreen) plus Smooth at 11 mg. Other 11 mg variants remain under FDA review.
Two things to keep straight:
- This is not the same authorization as the modified-risk order. On June 30, 2026, the FDA granted modified-risk orders to 20 standard ZYN products (10 flavors, each in 3 mg and 6 mg), allowing them to carry the claim that using ZYN instead of cigarettes puts you at lower risk of certain diseases. That order covers only those 20 standard products.
- Black Cherry, Peach, Dragonberry, and ZYN Ultra are not covered by the modified-risk order. Do not assume the modified-risk claim applies to anything outside the original 10-flavor, two-strength standard lineup. For the full breakdown of every FDA-authorized nicotine pouch, see our FDA authorized nicotine pouches list.
The FDA's authorized product names (Deep Freeze, Wintergreen Chill, etc.) do not map one-to-one to the retail flavor names (Arctic Mint, Menthol Ice, etc.). The agency and the brand use different naming conventions.
Which Strengths Does Each New Flavor Come In?
| Line | Flavors | Available Strengths |
|---|---|---|
| Standard dry (15/can) | All 13, including Black Cherry, Peach, Dragonberry | 3 mg, 6 mg |
| ZYN Ultra (20/can) | All 8 Ultra flavors | 9 mg, 11 mg |
Some retailer listings show 1.5 mg and 8 mg dry variants for select flavors. These were not confirmed on us.zyn.com as of September 2026. Check the can before assuming a particular strength exists in your area.
For pricing across all these variants, the ZYN price guide stays current.
Rumored vs. Confirmed: What to Trust
Confirmed means the flavor appears on us.zyn.com/all-products or has a dated press release from Philip Morris International or an FDA filing.
Rumored means a single retailer listing, a Reddit post, or an unverified leak. This research found no additional 2026 US flavor launches beyond the three fruit flavors and ZYN Ultra. Anything else circulating online should be treated as unconfirmed until it appears on the official product list.
How to Tell if a ZYN Flavor Has Been Discontinued
The practical method:
- Check us.zyn.com/all-products. If a flavor is gone from the official page, that is the reliable signal.
- Cross-reference two or more major online retailers (Nicokick, Northerner). A single retailer being out of stock is a supply issue, not a discontinuation.
- Ignore forum speculation. People confuse regional stock shortages with permanent removal constantly.
As of September 2026, this research found no confirmed discontinued US ZYN flavors. Four ZYN products were discontinued globally in early 2026 (Apple Mint Mini Extra Strong, Original Mini Normal, Original Mini Extra Strong, Cucumber Lime Slim Normal), but these were not part of the US lineup.
Where New ZYN Flavors Show Up First
Online retailers like Nicokick and Northerner typically list new products before they reach convenience stores. ZYN Ultra's June 15 launch went live online before brick-and-mortar distribution caught up. If you want first access to the next launch, watching those two sites plus us.zyn.com is the most reliable approach.

Keeping Track of New ZYN Launches
ZYN's 2026 expansion was the brand's largest US flavor push since Citrus, Chill, and Smooth launched in 2019. Three new standard flavors, an entirely new sub-brand with 8 flavors and higher strengths, and two separate FDA authorizations that do not even cover the same set of products. If anything new drops, this page will be updated.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the newest ZYN flavors in the US?
As of September 2026, the newest additions to the standard US ZYN dry lineup are Black Cherry, Peach, and Dragonberry, all available in 3 mg and 6 mg. These rolled out between late June and late July 2026. The separate ZYN Ultra line, with 8 flavors in 9 mg and 11 mg, also launched in June 2026.
When did ZYN Ultra launch and what flavors does it come in?
ZYN Ultra launched online in the US on June 15, 2026, with 9 mg pouches in 8 flavors: Wintergreen Blast, Arctic Mint, Peppermint Frost, Fresh Spearmint, Citrus Zest, Menthol Ice, Signature Smooth, and Chill Mist. The 11 mg strength followed later in June. On August 21, 2026, the FDA authorized 11 ZYN Ultra products under the PMTA pathway.
Are Black Cherry, Peach, and Dragonberry available in both 3 mg and 6 mg?
Yes. All three new fruit flavors come in both 3 mg and 6 mg, matching the same two-strength format as every other standard US ZYN flavor. They are available nationwide at brick-and-mortar retailers and online. Wondering about ZYN Rewards on the new cans? Check our guide.
Is ZYN Ultra the same as regular ZYN, just stronger?
No. ZYN Ultra differs in several ways beyond nicotine strength. It uses a moist pouch format (standard ZYN is dry), comes with 20 pouches per can instead of 15, includes a built-in disposal compartment, and is available at 9 mg and 11 mg. It is a separate product line, not just a stronger version of the classic can. Our ZYN Ultra vs. regular ZYN comparison covers the differences in detail.
Has ZYN discontinued any flavors in 2026?
No US ZYN flavors have been confirmed as discontinued in 2026. Four products were phased out globally (Apple Mint, Original, and Cucumber Lime variants), but none of these were part of the US lineup. If a flavor disappears from us.zyn.com/all-products, that is the most reliable signal of a true discontinuation.
One Flavor, on Purpose
You just read through 13 standard ZYN flavors, 8 Ultra variants, two strength tiers, and two separate FDA authorization tracks. That is a lot of SKUs to parse.
Roon ships exactly one flavor: Cool Mint. That is deliberate, not a gap in the catalog. Roon is solving a different problem. It is a zero-nicotine oral pouch built for sustained, jitter-free focus, not for nicotine delivery or flavor variety. Each pouch contains 80 mg caffeine, 60 mg L-theanine, 25 mg methylliberine (Dynamine), and 5 mg theacrine (TeaCrine).
The reason for the 6 to 8 hour felt window comes down to methylliberine. In a randomized, double-blind, crossover PK study (n=12), co-administration of 100 mg methylliberine with 150 mg caffeine cut caffeine's oral clearance from 41.9 to 17.1 L/hr and extended its half-life from 7.2 to 15 hours, with no increase in peak concentration. Important context: that study used 4x the methylliberine and roughly 1.9x the caffeine found in a Roon pouch (25 mg and 80 mg, respectively), so the effect is directionally the same but not identical in magnitude. Roon's 6 to 8 hour felt window is the real-world claim, not the study's 15-hour half-life number. And because a longer half-life means caffeine sticks around, stop at least 8 hours before bed.
Pricing starts at $9.16 per tin on subscription (as little as $0.61 per pouch), or $15.00 per tin one-time. The choice between ZYN and Roon is not bigger flavor menu vs. smaller one. It is a nicotine ritual vs. a caffeine ritual. Roon is not a nicotine product, not a substitute for one, and not a way to quit one. If the focus problem is the one you are trying to solve, try Roon.
