Choose Mission Sourdough Wraps if you specifically want a wheat tortilla made with rye sourdough and wheat and rye are suitable for everyone eating it; the wrap is not gluten-free. Old El Paso’s regular flour tortilla is a smaller, non-sourdough option, while a gluten-free tortilla is a different recipe that calls for a check of the exact pack and allergen statement. Before packing any wrap for school, check the school’s arrangements where allergens are relevant.
Mission Sourdough Wraps are an option when a wheat-and-rye tortilla suits everyone eating tea. Mission Wraps UK lists 2.6% inactive rye sourdough in the ingredients; the sourdough name does not make the wrap gluten-free.
Check the exact wrap’s label against the child’s requirements before packing it for school or a club. For schools in England, Department for Education guidance says schools must publish an allergy safety policy; check the individual school’s arrangements too.
Old El Paso’s regular flour tortilla offers a smaller wheat-wrap format. Its gluten-free tortilla is a separate recipe, not a sourdough version; check which product and pack you are buying.
Start with ingredients and allergen suitability, then compare the size of one wrap and how soon you will use the opened pack.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Allergens | Read the current ingredient and allergen statement. Mission’s sourdough wraps contain wheat and rye, which the Food Standards Agency identifies as cereals containing gluten. For a school meal in England, check the school’s arrangements; Department for Education guidance says schools must publish an allergy safety policy. | If I’m packing food for a child who must avoid an ingredient, I need the exact wrap and the school’s arrangements to fit their requirements. |
| Sourdough ingredient | Check the ingredient list rather than relying on the front-of-pack name. Mission Wraps UK and Tesco Groceries list 2.6% inactive rye sourdough in Mission Sourdough Wraps, which are wheat tortillas. | I’m looking for a tortilla made with rye sourdough, not assuming that the word sourdough describes an artisan loaf or a gluten-free recipe. |
| Wrap size | Compare one wrap before adding fillings. Tesco Groceries lists approximately 61g, 188 kcal and 0.49g salt per Mission sourdough wrap; Old El Paso UK lists 41g, 122 kcal and 0.41g salt per regular flour tortilla. These are different-sized wraps, not like-for-like nutrition comparisons. | A smaller tortilla may suit the filling I have planned; I’ll consider the filled wrap rather than its tortilla alone. |
| Pack identity | Check the product name, wrap count, weight and per-wrap information. Old El Paso UK describes four 54g gluten-free wraps, while Joybuy’s Old El Paso gluten-free listing describes six 36g wraps. | If I need a gluten-free tortilla, I want to choose using the details on the pack I’m actually buying. |
| After opening | Follow the current pack’s storage instructions. Tesco Groceries says to use Mission Sourdough Wraps within two days of opening; Old El Paso UK says to use its regular flour tortillas within three days and states that they can be frozen. | We only use wraps occasionally, so I’ll choose a pack we can use or store as its instructions allow. |
Mission Sourdough Wraps contain wheat and rye. The Food Standards Agency identifies both as cereals containing gluten, so the sourdough name does not establish suitability for someone who must avoid gluten.
