Campers feeding a group
Plan how many wraps each meal needs, then choose a pack size that leaves fewer unused portions.
Who is this for?
Campers without a fridge
Check what the label requires after opening. Unopened storage directions may no longer apply once the pack is open, and perishable fillings need suitable chilling.
Campers checking allergens
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack and check the fillings too. A product described as a corn tortilla can still contain wheat.
What should you check?
Start with the number of wraps you will use, then check storage directions and ingredients for the whole meal.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size | Compare wrap counts with your planned meals. Check labelled weight or size too: two eight-packs need not contain wraps of the same size. | I want enough wraps for everyone without being left with a pack I cannot finish. |
| Storage | Read the unopened and after-opening directions separately. Asda says its Old El Paso Regular Super Soft Flour Tortillas 326 g pack must be refrigerated and used within three days of opening; its Mission Deli Wheat & White six-pack says to reseal and use within two days. | Without a fridge, I need a pack I can finish while following its opened-pack directions. Perishable fillings also need suitable chilling. |
| Allergens | Check the exact pack's ingredients and allergen declaration, including any precautionary advice. Asda lists wheat flour and wheat gluten in Old El Paso Soft Corn Tortillas. | Someone eating with us needs ingredients that fit their dietary requirements; the word “corn” alone does not settle that question. |
| Wrap type | Compare nutrition figures on the same labelled basis. Sainsbury's lists 8.2 g fibre per 100 g for Stamford Street Co. Wholemeal wraps and 2.8 g per 100 g for its Plain wraps. | I would like to choose between the listed plain and wholemeal eight-packs using their labels, as well as the number of wraps we will eat. |
Common packing mistakes
-
Picking a pack without counting the meals
A six-pack and an eight-pack leave different numbers of portions for the rest of a trip.
Count the wraps you expect to use, including any planned second meal, before choosing a pack.
-
Applying unopened storage directions after opening
Asda's Old El Paso Regular Super Soft Flour Tortillas listing calls for refrigeration once the pack is opened. That changes whether leftovers are practical without a fridge.
Read the opened-pack directions before setting off, and plan to finish the pack if you cannot follow them.
-
Assuming a corn-labelled wrap contains no wheat
Asda lists wheat flour and wheat gluten in Old El Paso Soft Corn Tortillas.
For an allergy or dietary requirement, check the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack you receive.

Camping wrap questions
Can I leave an opened pack of wraps in my tent?
Follow that pack's after-opening directions rather than its unopened storage directions. Asda says to refrigerate its listed Old El Paso regular flour wraps and use them within three days of opening; without suitable storage, plan to finish the pack instead of relying on leftovers.
What changes if I add meat, eggs or dairy?
Chilled fillings need suitable storage as well as a suitable wrap. The Food Standards Agency's camping guidance says chilled food should be kept below 5°C and warns that a cool box is unlikely to keep food chilled for an extended period.
Does a corn tortilla mean it is gluten-free?
No: Asda lists wheat flour and wheat gluten in Old El Paso Soft Corn Tortillas. Check the exact product's ingredients and allergen information rather than relying on “corn” in its name.
Is the online allergen listing enough to check a wrap?
Read the label on the pack you receive and check the fillings too. M&S warns that ingredients and allergen information may change and advises customers not to rely solely on its website.
