Hosts looking for sourdough wraps
Mission’s four-pack suits a plan that calls for wheat tortillas made with rye sourdough. Count the portions you intend to serve before deciding how many packs to buy.
Who is each wrap option for?
Hosts catering for a gluten-free guest
Sourdough and gluten-free are separate requirements. Mission’s sourdough wraps contain wheat and rye; Old El Paso offers a separate gluten-free tortilla option. Confirm the guest’s requirements and read the pack you buy.
Parents sending wraps into an England school
Ask the school about its food and allergy arrangements before packing or sharing wraps. Department for Education guidance for England says schools must publish an allergy safety policy.
What should you check before buying?
Start with any guest’s dietary requirements, then work out the wrap count and check the rules for where the food will be served.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Sourdough and allergens | Mission’s 245g four-pack is described by Tesco Groceries as wheat tortillas made with rye sourdough. Check the current ingredient and allergen label; sourdough does not make these wraps gluten-free. | If I want the sourdough style, I can choose it only for guests whose requirements allow wheat and rye. For a gluten-free guest, I need a separately labelled gluten-free wrap. |
| Wrap count | Compare the pack count with the portions you plan to make. Tesco Groceries lists four wraps in the Mission pack; Old El Paso lists eight in its regular flour-tortilla pack. | How many wraps will the planned fillings and serving sizes require? If sourdough is not important, an eight-pack may fit my count with fewer packs. |
| Serving setting | Read the physical pack before serving, including its allergens and storage instructions. For an England school event, ask about the school’s allergy safety policy, which Department for Education guidance says schools must publish. | If I am sending food into school or serving it at a venue, I need to know its current food rules before deciding what to bring. |
Mistakes to avoid
-
Assuming sourdough is gluten-free
Mission’s sourdough tortillas contain wheat and rye, so they do not meet a gluten-free requirement.
Keep the sourdough preference separate from any guest’s dietary requirement. If gluten-free wraps are needed, select a product labelled for that requirement and check its current pack.
-
Counting packs rather than wraps
One Mission sourdough pack contains four wraps, which may be fewer than the portions planned for a party.
Work out the portions you intend to serve, then calculate the packs needed for each wrap option.
-
Using an online ingredient list as the final check
The wrap you serve needs to match the dietary requirements you planned for.
Read the physical pack’s ingredients, allergen information, date marking and storage instructions when you buy it and before serving.
-
Assuming a school will accept any party food
An individual school’s allergy arrangements can affect food brought in or shared with pupils. Department for Education guidance says schools in England must publish an allergy safety policy.
Ask the school about its current rules before sending in wraps or party food.
