Thank you for everyone for your responses.  9 people said Tic Tacs were gluten free.  1 person said they were not gluten free.  I have not been able to reach the manufacturer yet for their response.
7 people said Altoids were gluten free and 1 said they were not gluten free.  Always verify the information you receive from the list.  As some people noted, they were relying on old information as to the gluten free status of these two products.  As we all know, gluten effects us all differently and just because one person doesn't have a reaction doesn't necessarily mean it is gluten free.

Here are two responses I got regarding the Altoids:  
I bought two different sizes of altoids recently.  The smaller container ingredients listed wheat malodextrin and the larger container did not indicate malodextrin was included. So my guess is they are not gluten free.

I, personally, haven't had a problem with the Chocolate Altoids.  They feel GF to me.

Below is the response from Wrigley regarding Altoids.  

Thank you for writing to inquire about ingredients used in Wrigley products.

The following is a list of UP.S. Wrigley products that remain free of any wheat, oat, rye or barley gluten:  

Wrigley's Spearmint® gum, Freedent® gum, Doublemint® gum, Extra® gum, Big Red® gum, Eclipse® gum, Juicy Fruit® gum, Winterfresh® gum, Orbit® gum, Orbit® White gum, Lifesavers® Altoids® and 5® products.

Please note that Altoids Chocolate Dipped mints carry a warning that the product is made on equipment that also processes milk and wheat.

If your sensitivity extends to other types of gluten, several of our brands contain corn syrup, which may have trace amounts of corn gluten in it.  The amount of gluten in one stick is less than 0.2 milligrams, but if you are extremely sensitive, you may want to consult with your physician before chewing our brands

Additionally, no packaging material directly next to our product contains gluten sources.  There may be instances when starches are used on the label around each individual stick of gum, but these starches are produced from corn or potatoes, not from wheat, rye, barley, oats, millet or buckwheat.

We hope this information has been helpful.  If you have any additional questions or comments please feel free to contact us at 1-800-WRIGLEY Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CST.

Sincerely,

Stephanie Apple
Consumer Affairs Representative
