Everyday lunch makers
Match the number and size of wraps to your fillings and planned lunches. Check how the pack should be stored once opened.
Who is choosing?
Shoppers with specific dietary needs
Read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact wrap you order. Check them again if a different product arrives as a substitute.
Delivery planners
Check the identity, condition and date mark of the delivered pack rather than assuming they will match what you expected from the listing.
What should you check?
Start with the meal and any ingredient requirements, then compare the particular packs. The date mark and condition need checking when the order arrives.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Meal and pack size | Compare wrap count and net weight; look for a stated diameter if your filling needs more wrapping area. M&S describes its eight-wrap, 496g pack as 10 inches across. | I want enough wraps for the meals planned, with room for the fillings I use. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the exact product’s ingredients, allergen information and any precautionary wording. ASDA’s corn-named tortillas declare wheat; a corn name is not a gluten-free label. | Someone eating these wraps needs to avoid a particular ingredient, so a substitute has to meet the same requirement. |
| Nutrition per portion | Check the serving weight and preparation basis before comparing panels. ASDA lists 3.4g fibre per wrap for its specified wholemeal eight-pack; Sainsbury’s gives figures per microwaved tortilla for its plain eight-pack. | If fibre matters to me, I want to compare the stated figures for the portions I would actually use. |
| Keeping the pack | Inspect the delivered date mark and pack condition. Follow that product’s instructions after opening: the listed Mission Original and M&S soft wraps each say to use the opened pack within two days. | I may spread one pack across several meals and need to know when to use it. |
Mistakes to avoid
-
Assuming ‘corn’ means gluten-free
ASDA’s listed corn tortillas declare wheat, so the product name alone cannot establish whether they meet a dietary requirement.
Check the exact wrap’s ingredients and allergen information, including the label of any delivered substitute.
-
Choosing by wrap count alone
Mission Original is listed as six wraps weighing 367g, while Sainsbury’s specified plain pack contains eight wraps weighing 496g. Count does not describe the portion on its own.
Compare net weight and the wrap size needed for your fillings before working out how many meals to plan.
-
Relying on a listing for the delivered date
The date mark belongs to the particular pack delivered. Post-opening directions also vary by product.
Inspect the pack on arrival and follow its own date mark and storage instructions.

Questions about ordering wraps
Are corn tortillas necessarily suitable if I avoid wheat?
No. ASDA’s specified corn tortillas declare wheat. Check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact product and any substitute that arrives.
Do tortilla wraps need heating?
Follow the particular pack’s directions. ASDA describes its specified soft flour tortillas as ready to eat hot or cold.
How long can I keep an opened pack?
Follow the delivered pack’s date mark and storage directions. The Mission Original listing says to reseal and use within two days; the M&S soft-wrap listing also says to eat within two days of opening.
What should I do if my grocery order contains a substitute?
Check the substitute’s identity and dietary information before accepting it. For its own grocery orders, Tesco says customers who allowed substitutions can hand an unwanted item back to the driver or collection colleague for a refund; other retailers may have different processes.
