Hosts who want seeds in the tortilla
If seeds are part of the wrap you have in mind, look for a seeded tortilla rather than relying on a topping or a similarly named product. Check the pack count and serving directions against your planned fillings.
Who is choosing the wraps?
Shoppers comparing fibre figures
If fibre content matters to your comparison, use the same basis on each nutrition panel. M&S lists 8.3g fibre per 100g for its Seeded Tortilla Wraps; Waitrose lists 7.0g per 100g for its eight-pack seeded wraps.
Hosts serving someone who avoids gluten
The checked M&S and Waitrose seeded tortillas contain wheat. Choose a separately labelled gluten-free wrap for a guest who needs one, check its current ingredients and keep its preparation separate from wheat-containing food where relevant.
What should you check before buying?
Start with what guests can eat, then check whether the wrap format, ingredients and storage instructions fit the meal.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Fillings and portions | Check that the product is a fillable tortilla wrap, its pack count and any serving directions. Waitrose suggests its seeded tortillas for fajitas and burritos; the checked M&S and Waitrose packs each contain eight wraps. | I’m serving filled tortillas and want enough wraps for the diners and fillings I’ve planned. |
| Seeds and fibre | M&S lists 2.5% mixed golden and brown linseed and poppy seeds, and 8.3g fibre per 100g. Waitrose lists 3% mixed linseed and poppy seeds, and 7.0g fibre per 100g. Compare current pack labels on the same per-100g basis. | Seeds are part of why I’m choosing the wrap, but I want to check the named seeds and nutrition figure rather than assume all seeded wraps are alike. |
| Ingredients for guests | The checked M&S and Waitrose seeded wraps contain wheat. If a diner needs to avoid gluten, check a separately labelled gluten-free tortilla and its other ingredients; do not treat plain or wholemeal wheat wraps as substitutes. | Someone at the table needs a gluten-free option, so I’ll choose their wrap by its own label and consider how it will be prepared. |
| Storage after opening | M&S says to keep its opened seeded wraps airtight and eat them within two days. Waitrose says to reseal its pack and consume within 24 hours. Follow the chosen pack’s directions for any leftovers or freezing. | We may not finish the pack at one meal, and I want its storage instructions to fit when we’ll use the rest. |
Common mix-ups to avoid
-
Assuming “seeded” settles the ingredients question
The checked M&S and Waitrose wraps name different seed proportions and fibre figures, and both contain wheat.
Read the current ingredients and nutrition panel. If a guest needs to avoid gluten, choose a separately labelled gluten-free tortilla rather than relying on the seeds in a wheat wrap.
-
Expecting every opened pack to keep for the same time
M&S gives two days after opening for its seeded wraps, while Waitrose gives 24 hours for its seeded eight-pack.
Match the pack to the number of meals you are planning, and use that product’s own storage and freezing directions.
-
Confusing wholemeal or other seeded products with seeded wraps
A wholemeal wrap does not necessarily contain seeds, while tortilla chips and loaves will not serve as fillable wraps.
Check that the product is described as a seeded tortilla wrap, then read its ingredients for the seeds you want.

Questions about serving and storage
Do seeded tortillas need cooking before filling?
Follow the chosen pack’s serving directions. Ocado describes the M&S seeded wrap as suitable warm or cold, while Waitrose provides hob-warming directions for its seeded tortillas; neither instruction applies to every wrap.
How should I store opened wraps?
Use the instructions for the pack you buy. M&S says to keep its opened seeded wraps airtight and eat them within two days; Waitrose says to reseal its seeded eight-pack and consume it within 24 hours. Check that pack’s separate freezing directions if you are buying ahead.
Can someone who needs to avoid gluten eat these seeded wraps?
The checked M&S and Waitrose seeded tortillas contain wheat, so do not use them as a gluten-free option. Choose a separately labelled gluten-free tortilla, check its current ingredients and consider how the guest’s food will be prepared.
Where can I compare the seeds and fibre in a wrap?
Read the ingredients for the named seeds and the nutrition panel for fibre on the same per-100g basis. M&S lists 2.5% mixed seeds and 8.3g fibre per 100g for its seeded wraps; Waitrose lists 3% mixed seeds and 7.0g fibre per 100g for its seeded eight-pack. Use the current pack label when making your choice.
