Mission Sourdough Wraps are an option for a nursery lunch if the child can eat wheat and rye, the nursery permits the ingredients and the portion suits the lunch you are packing. Tesco lists each wrap at approximately 61 g; a smaller standard wrap may suit a different portion, while a child who needs to avoid gluten needs a specifically labelled gluten-free alternative. Check the nursery’s food rules and use the wrap with a suitable filling rather than packing it alone.
Mission Sourdough Wraps are made with wheat and rye sourdough, according to Tesco. They are an option when those ingredients suit the child and the nursery permits them; choose a portion and filling the child can manage.
The Tesco-listed Mission sourdough wraps contain cereals with gluten, so they do not fit a gluten-free requirement. Look for a specifically labelled gluten-free product, then check its current pack and the nursery’s food requirements.
Old El Paso lists its Regular Flour Tortilla at 41 g each, compared with approximately 61 g for the Tesco-listed Mission sourdough wrap, both before fillings. Those weights offer a starting point for choosing a portion, not a rule for how much a child should eat.
Consider it: Choose the Tesco-listed Mission wrap when wheat and rye are suitable and you want its approximately 61 g portion.
Bear in mind: Its 2.6% inactive rye sourdough does not make it gluten-free; Tesco says to use the pack within 2 days of opening.
Consider it: Old El Paso’s 41 g Regular Flour Tortilla offers a smaller listed wrap weight when sourdough is not important.
Bear in mind: It contains wheat, so it does not meet a gluten-free requirement.
Consider it: Choose a specifically labelled gluten-free wrap when the child needs to avoid gluten, subject to the current label and nursery requirements.
Bear in mind: Old El Paso’s Gluten Free Regular Original Tortilla is a different product from its flour tortilla and from Mission’s sourdough wrap.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Ingredients and nursery rules | Read the current pack’s ingredients and allergen information. Ask the nursery about its packed-lunch restrictions; the National Day Nurseries Association advises settings to communicate food restrictions to parents. | I need a wrap that fits the child’s dietary requirements and the nursery’s rules, not just a product name that sounds suitable. |
| Portion and preparation | Compare the weight per wrap before adding a filling. Tesco lists the Mission sourdough wrap at approximately 61 g; Old El Paso lists its Regular Flour Tortilla at 41 g. Consider how the filled wrap will be served to the child. | A full-size filled wrap may be more than I intend to pack, so I want to choose the portion and preparation for this child. |
| The rest of lunch | Plan the filling and accompaniments as well as the wrap. NHS lunchbox guidance suggests adding salad to wraps and choosing wholegrain where possible. | I want the wrap to be part of lunch, with fillings and other foods the child can eat. |
| Opened-pack storage | Check the instructions for the exact pack. Tesco says to use Mission Sourdough Wraps within 2 days of opening; Old El Paso says to consume its Regular Flour Tortillas within 3 days or freeze them in an airtight container. | If I am making only one or two wrap lunches, I need a plan for the rest of the opened pack. |
