Although one respondent thought that Skittles in a tube contained wheat
starch, I talked to the people at Skittles today who confirmed that ALL Skittles
are gluten free regardless of the package. The only Skittles that come in a tube
are mint, which too are gluten free.  She told me that the modified food
starch is from corn and that they work very closely with the food allergy network,
so that any source of gluten would be revealed. Nonetheless, there are other
candies which may have gluten added when they are downsized, so as always,
check the ingredients.
