Kodiak tobacco
Brand of dipping tobacco
Kodiak is a brand of dipping tobacco manufactured by American Snuff Company, a U.S. smokeless tobacco manufacturer which also produces the Grizzly tobacco and Levi Garrett brands.[1] Introduced in 1980,[2] Kodiak is currently available in three flavors: Wintergreen, Mint (formerly Ice), and Straight, each featuring a picture of a Kodiak bear on the top label.[3] Kodiak recently introduced pouches, which hold the moist snuff in a tea-bag like pouch, preventing it from spreading around the mouth and keeping it out of the teeth.

The Kodiak Wintergreen variety is a strong brand of dipping tobacco. It is a basic mixture with high nicotine content and a pH as high as 8.35.[4] It has high levels of deprotonated nicotine, "the chemical form... that is most readily absorbed through the mouth into the bloodstream," when compared amongst other brands.[4]
As of November 19th, 2023, American Snuff Company initiated a recall of the Kodiak Premium Wintergreen Longcut Tobacco product as a result of potential contact with foreign metal objects during the manufacturing process.[1]
