Who is choosing wraps for?

Hosts looking for a sourdough ingredient

If you want sourdough in the wrap itself, check the ingredient list. Mission’s listed product is a wheat tortilla made with inactive rye sourdough, rather than an all-sourdough or gluten-free wrap.

Hosts serving small portions

Mini wraps can be filled individually. Compare their size and pack count with the portions you plan to make from larger wraps, then check the directions for any leftovers.

Hosts preparing food for gluten-free guests

Choose a tortilla labelled for the guest’s needs, check the fillings and keep its preparation separate from wheat wraps. The listed wheat-and-rye sourdough wrap is not a gluten-free choice.

What should you check?

Start with the ingredient or dietary requirement, then choose a portion format and plan when to open the pack.

Priority What to check Your needs
Sourdough ingredient Read the full ingredients and the stated sourdough amount. Tesco Groceries lists Mission’s four-pack as wheat tortillas containing 2.6% inactive rye sourdough; that description does not establish a particular flavour or production method. I want sourdough to be an ingredient in the wraps, rather than assuming the whole tortilla is sourdough.
Portion format Compare wrap size and pack count with the portions you intend to serve. Tesco Groceries lists four Mission sourdough wraps; Asda, Sainsbury’s and Ocado list examples with eight mini wraps each. Individual small wraps would suit my spread, or I can cut and fill larger wraps to make the portions I need.
Dietary suitability Check the purchased tortilla’s ingredient and allergen information, then check every filling. Coeliac UK identifies wheat and rye as gluten-containing cereals and advises separate preparation equipment for gluten-free food. A guest needs gluten-free food, so the wheat-and-rye sourdough wrap cannot be their option. I also need to keep their assembled wrap separate from wheat wraps.
Preparation and storage Follow the directions on the pack you buy. Tesco Groceries lists a two-day after-opening period for Mission sourdough wraps; Ocado’s M&S mini-wrap listing gives its own freezing and after-opening directions. I am preparing ahead and want to open or freeze packs according to the directions for that particular product.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Assuming “made with sourdough” means gluten-free

    Mission’s listed sourdough wraps are wheat tortillas containing 2.6% inactive rye sourdough. Coeliac UK identifies both wheat and rye as gluten-containing cereals.

    Read the complete ingredient list and choose a separately labelled gluten-free tortilla for a guest who needs one.

  • Assuming every pack makes the same portions

    The listed Mission sourdough pack has four wraps, while the cited plain mini-wrap examples each have eight. A pack count alone does not tell you how you will fill or divide them.

    Plan the portions first, then check the current pack count, format and storage directions.

  • Checking only the gluten-free tortilla

    Fillings and shared preparation equipment also matter when assembling food for a guest who needs to avoid gluten.

    Check every ingredient and follow Coeliac UK’s advice to use separate preparation equipment alongside wheat wraps.

Relevant brands and ranges

These examples illustrate different wrap formats; the brand name alone does not establish the ingredients of a particular pack.

Mission

Its UK-listed four-pack is a wheat tortilla made with rye sourdough.

  • The ingredient list states 2.6% inactive rye sourdough, and the pack has a resealable seam.
  • The listed wraps contain wheat and rye; they are not a gluten-free option.

Old El Paso

Its range includes a separately labelled gluten-free six-pack alongside other tortilla formats.

  • Old El Paso publishes ingredients and a 36 g serving size for each tortilla in that six-pack.
  • Check the particular pack and fillings for each guest; the gluten-free product is not a sourdough version of Mission’s wheat wrap.

Tesco

Tesco Groceries lists the Mission sourdough four-pack with its ingredients and storage directions.

  • The listing identifies the pack count and wheat-and-rye ingredients.
  • Check the purchased label for current ingredients and directions.

Its listed own-label pack contains eight mini plain wheat tortillas.

  • The mini format allows for individual small wraps.
  • This listed product contains wheat and is not described as sourdough or gluten-free.

Asda

Its listed own-label pack contains eight white mini wraps.

  • The listing provides a pack count and wheat allergen information.

  • The listing gives after-opening and freezing directions for planning ahead.
  • This listed product contains wheat and is not described as a sourdough tortilla.

Coffee-morning wrap questions

Are Mission sourdough wraps suitable for someone with coeliac disease?

No. Tesco Groceries lists wheat flour and rye sourdough in the Mission four-pack, and Coeliac UK identifies wheat and rye as gluten-containing cereals. Choose an appropriately labelled gluten-free tortilla and keep its fillings and preparation separate from wheat wraps.

Do I need special equipment to serve tortilla wraps?

No installation or specialist equipment is needed. If you heat the wraps, follow the directions on the purchased pack and remove its packaging first; use separate preparation equipment when making food for a guest who needs to avoid gluten.

Can I open or freeze the wraps ahead of the coffee morning?

Follow the directions for the product you buy rather than applying one pack’s instructions to another. Tesco Groceries says to re-close its listed Mission sourdough wraps and use them within two days of opening; Ocado’s M&S mini-wrap listing permits freezing under its stated directions. Check the purchased pack and date mark when planning ahead.

What ingredient information should I keep to hand for guests?

Keep the purchased wrap packaging available so guests can check its ingredient and allergen list, and check fillings separately. For gluten-free food prepared alongside wheat wraps, Coeliac UK advises using separate boards to help prevent cross-contact.
