Hosts planning a sourdough option
Mission’s listed tortilla is made with rye sourdough. Its four-wrap pack is worth checking against the number of guests and the dishes you plan to serve.
Who is choosing wraps?
Hosts serving different dietary needs
Mission’s sourdough wraps contain wheat and rye. For a guest who needs gluten-free food, check for an explicitly gluten-free wrap and read the labels on fillings, sauces and sides.
Shoppers feeding a larger table
Tesco and Sainsbury’s list eight-wrap plain or wholemeal formats alongside Mission’s four-wrap sourdough pack. Compare the count with the servings you expect to make.
What should you check?
Decide whether sourdough, another wrap format or an explicitly gluten-free recipe fits the menu, then check the pack count and storage instructions.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Sourdough recipe | Look for a description that specifies sourdough. Tesco describes Mission’s four-wrap product as wheat tortillas made with rye sourdough. | I want the rye-sourdough version, rather than a standard flour tortilla, for this meal. |
| Gluten-free requirement | Check the current wrap label and every filling, sauce and side. The Food Standards Agency identifies wheat and rye as cereals containing gluten; Old El Paso separately describes a gluten-free tortilla recipe. | If a guest needs gluten-free food, I need an explicitly labelled wrap and suitable accompaniments—not Mission’s wheat-and-rye sourdough wraps. |
| Wrap count | Compare wraps per pack and pack weight with the dishes planned. Tesco lists four Mission sourdough wraps; Tesco and Sainsbury’s also list eight-wrap plain or wholemeal formats. | Will there be enough wraps for everyone if guests try more than one filling? |
| After opening | Read the instructions on the pack. Ocado’s Mission sourdough listing says to re-close it at the seam, keep it cool and dry, and use it within two days of opening. | I may use the remaining wraps for another meal, so the opened-pack instructions matter. |
Common buying mistakes
-
Assuming sourdough means gluten-free
Mission’s sourdough tortilla is described as containing wheat and rye, both cereals the Food Standards Agency identifies as containing gluten.
For a gluten-free requirement, choose an explicitly labelled wrap and check the fillings, sauces and sides as well.
-
Choosing a pack without counting wraps
One Mission sourdough pack contains four wraps, while Tesco and Sainsbury’s list eight-wrap alternatives. A single four-wrap pack may not cover the dishes planned for a larger table.
Estimate how many wraps the meal calls for, then compare the count and weight on each pack.
-
Saving opened wraps without checking the label
Ocado’s Mission sourdough listing says to use the wraps within two days after opening.
Check the instructions on the pack you buy and plan any leftover wraps around them.

Frequently asked questions
Are sourdough tortilla wraps gluten-free?
Not necessarily: Tesco describes Mission’s sourdough wraps as wheat tortillas made with rye sourdough, and the Food Standards Agency identifies wheat and rye as cereals containing gluten. Choose a wrap explicitly labelled gluten-free when that is required.
What could I serve instead for a guest who needs gluten-free food?
Old El Paso describes its regular gluten-free tortillas as made with ingredients including tapioca starch, white corn masa flour, quinoa flour and amaranth flour. Check the current wrap pack and the labels of fillings, sauces and sides separately.
How many wraps are in the Mission sourdough pack?
Tesco lists four wraps in the 245g Mission sourdough pack. Compare that count with the number of wraps your meal calls for; Tesco and Sainsbury’s also list eight-wrap plain or wholemeal formats.
How should I keep Mission sourdough wraps after opening?
Ocado’s listing says to re-close the pack at the seam, store it in a cool, dry place and use the wraps within two days of opening. Follow the instructions on the pack you buy if they differ.
Can I rely on an online listing for allergen information?
Check the current pack before serving: Sainsbury’s advises that ingredients can change and tells shoppers to read the label. Check accompaniments separately when serving guests with allergies or intolerances.
