a Aflatoxin quantification limits were 0.1 ng/g for the NRT lozenge and 1.0 ng/g for the other tested products
b Unprotonated nicotine was calculated based on pH for the different products (ZYN dry 8.3, ZYN moist 8.3, NRT (lozenge) 8.6, NRT (gum) 9.9, snus 8.9, moist snuff (loose) 7.7, moist snuff (pouch) 7.9)
* The measured analyte was below the quantification limit
