Families planning a larger lunch portion
If one wrap needs to make up a substantial lunch, compare formats and stated weight per wrap. ASDA Groceries lists Mission XL at approximately 90g per wrap; that figure describes portion size, not thickness.
Who is choosing these wraps?
Households checking allergens
Check both the wrap and its filling against the relevant dietary requirements. ASDA Groceries lists wheat in Mission XL, and the current pack should be checked for ingredients and any precautionary allergen statement.
Families choosing between wrap formats
Tesco Groceries lists mini, wholemeal and burrito wraps alongside other varieties. Choose the format around the intended portion and check the individual pack rather than treating a nutrition label as a measure of thickness.
What should you check?
Start with the portion and format you want to serve, then check the exact wrap’s label for dietary and storage details.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Portion and format | Compare pack count, format and weight per wrap where stated. ASDA Groceries lists Mission XL at approximately 90g per wrap; Tesco Groceries also lists burrito and mini formats. None of these labels specifies thickness. | I want one larger wrap for lunch, or smaller wraps that are easier to divide into portions. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current pack’s ingredients, highlighted allergens and any ‘may contain’ statement. The Food Standards Agency explains that precautionary wording signals possible unintended allergen presence. | Someone eating this lunch needs the wrap and filling checked against a particular allergen requirement. |
| Nutrition per wrap | Compare figures on the same per-wrap basis and note each wrap’s weight. Tesco Groceries lists Mission Carb Balance at approximately 50g per wrap, with 9g carbohydrate and 14g fibre per wrap; those figures do not describe thickness. | If a particular nutrition figure matters to my household, I want to compare the portion I would actually serve. |
| Storage after opening | Check how to close and store the pack, its use-after-opening instructions and whether the exact product permits freezing. ASDA Groceries says to use Mission XL within two days of opening. | We may use the pack across several holiday lunches rather than finish it at once. |
Buying pitfalls
-
Treating ‘thick cut’ as a measured specification
A larger format or heavier wrap does not establish its thickness or how it will hold a filling.
Compare the declared format and weight per wrap, then check the individual pack for any dimensions you need.
-
Assuming a nutrition-focused wrap handles fillings differently
Fibre or carbohydrate figures describe nutrition, not resistance to splitting. Tesco Groceries lists Mission Carb Balance at approximately 50g per wrap, while ASDA Groceries lists Mission XL at approximately 90g.
Choose the portion format separately from any nutrition preference; do not transfer one variety’s details to another.
-
Using an old ingredients listing for an allergy-sensitive lunch
An older listing may not reflect the pack being served. The Food Standards Agency says ‘may contain’ labelling communicates possible unintended allergen presence.
Read the current pack’s ingredients, highlighted allergens and precautionary statements, as well as the filling’s label.
-
Opening more wraps than you plan to use
ASDA Groceries instructs shoppers to use Mission XL within two days of opening.
Match the pack to planned lunches and follow its instructions if you intend to freeze any wraps.

Questions about lunch wraps
Does ‘thick cut’ tell me how thick a tortilla wrap is?
Do not use the phrase as a thickness measurement. The Mission XL listing at ASDA Groceries gives an approximate weight per wrap, while Tesco Groceries distinguishes formats including burrito and mini; neither detail establishes thickness or resistance to splitting.
Are Mission XL wraps suitable for a wheat-free lunch?
No: the ingredients listed by ASDA Groceries include fortified wheat flour. For a wheat-free requirement, check the label of a different product and its precautionary allergen statement before serving it.
How should I store an opened pack of Mission XL wraps?
ASDA Groceries says to re-close Mission XL at the seam, store it in a cool, dry place and use it within two days of opening. Its listing also says the wraps are suitable for home freezing for up to three months; follow the instructions on the pack you buy.
What allergen details should I check for a lunch wrap?
Read the current ingredients and highlighted allergens on both the wrap and filling, including any ‘may contain’ statements. The Food Standards Agency explains that precautionary allergen labelling signals that a regulated allergen could be unintentionally present.
