FDA issues first-ever warning for flavored nicotine gummies

The Food and Drug Administration has issued an official warning against a company that makes and sells flavored nicotine gummies without proper authorization, saying it’s potentially harmful for children.

In the warning letter, the FDA told VPR Brands, doing business as Krave Nic, that “you manufacture and offer for sale or distribution to customers in the United States nicotine gummy products without a marketing authorization order.”

The FDA was particularly concerned about how flavored gummies, not dissimilar to fruit candies, could sell nicotine to children. The gummies come in pineapple, cherry, and blue raspberry flavors.
