Choose a tortilla wrap labelled gluten free in a size that suits your meal, then check the ingredients, allergen statements and storage directions on the pack you buy. If you have a wheat or another food allergy, a gluten-free claim alone does not establish that the wrap is suitable for you.
Look for an identifiable gluten-free claim on the wrap. Coeliac UK also advises taking care to avoid crumbs and cross-contact when preparing gluten-free food in a shared kitchen. Its Crossed Grain symbol can be an additional shopping cue, but it is not required on every product labelled gluten free.
Check the ingredients and relevant precautionary statements for your particular allergen. Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust warns that some gluten-free foods contain wheat starch, so a gluten-free claim does not answer a wheat-allergy question on its own.
Choose between small tortillas for tacos and larger wraps for folded meals. Compare the pack quantity and the purchased pack’s preparation and storage directions with how you plan to use it.
Start with the gluten-free label and any personal allergens; once those checks are satisfied, compare the wrap format and pack directions for your meals.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Gluten-free identification | Check that the exact wrap is labelled gluten free. The Food Standards Agency defines the UK claim as no more than 20 mg/kg gluten in the food as sold. If certification matters to you, look for the Crossed Grain symbol on that product. | I want to recognise the gluten-free claim and decide whether an additional certification mark matters to me. In Coeliac UK’s 2025 shopping-habits survey, 76.4% of its 3,785 respondents wanted all products labelled gluten free to display its Crossed Grain Trademark; Coeliac UK reported the result in January 2026. |
| Other allergens | Read the exact pack’s ingredients and precautionary statements for the allergen you avoid. A gluten-free claim is not the same as a wheat-free claim; listed wraps also carry statements concerning egg, mustard or sesame. | If I need to avoid wheat or another allergen, I need information about that allergen, not just a gluten-free label. |
| Meal format | Compare tortilla size and pack quantity. Old El Paso UK lists six regular gluten-free tortillas at 36 g each; Sainsbury’s separately lists ten small Old El Paso gluten-free corn tortillas for tacos. | For a folded lunch or fajitas, I would check the regular-wrap format. For small tacos, I would look at the smaller tortillas instead of assuming the two packs are interchangeable. |
| Storage and quantity | Check how many wraps are in the pack, then read its opening, resealing and freezing directions. Use the directions on the product purchased rather than those for a different wrap or pack version. | I want a pack I can use according to its storage instructions, whether I am making one meal or spreading the wraps across several days. |
Gluten-free foods can contain wheat starch, according to Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The listed BFree wraps also carry a mustard-and-sesame precautionary statement, while the Warburtons listing notes a bakery that uses egg.
Check the ingredients and relevant precautionary wording on the exact pack for the allergen you need to avoid.

Compare the quantity you expect to use with the purchased pack’s instructions for storage after opening and freezing.

This 216 g pack contains six gluten-free tortillas for regular-wrap meals. Read the delivered pack’s ingredients, allergen statements and storage directions before use.
No. The UK gluten-free claim concerns gluten content, while Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust warns that some gluten-free foods contain wheat starch. If you need to avoid wheat, check the ingredients and relevant allergen information on the actual pack.
No. The symbol is an additional certification cue, not the definition of a UK gluten-free claim. Coeliac UK says its certification includes checks of gluten-analysis certificates and independent audits of manufacturing.
Take care to avoid contact with gluten-containing crumbs and equipment. Coeliac UK advises cleaning surfaces and utensils and suggests separate bread boards and either a separate toaster or toaster bags where relevant. Check the fillings and seasonings as well.
Use the directions on the pack you purchased. Opening, freezing and date instructions can differ between products and pack versions, so another wrap’s directions may not apply.
Read the delivered pack before using the wraps, particularly its ingredients and allergen information. Old El Paso says its packaging takes precedence when it conflicts with website details.
