Brief Answer:
Yes, it is gluten-free

Detailed Answer:
Hello there,

I can understand your concern.

Given that the ingredients in the wintergreen Skoal tobacco are: water, tobacco, salt, alcohol, sodium carbonate, ammonium carbonate, saccharin (a type of sugar), preservatives and natural and artificial flavors.

It may be safely assumed that it is gluten-free since gluten is only found in wheat, barley, and rye. However, there is no guarantee that it does not contain any traces of gluten in the paper or adhesive materials.

I hope this answers your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
