Hosts looking for seeded wraps
If seeds are part of the meal you have in mind, M&S Seeded Tortilla Wraps contain linseed, poppy seeds and quinoa, according to Ocado / M&S Food. Check the ingredients rather than relying on a wrap's colour or name.
Who is each wrap for?
Households making fajitas or burritos
If a conventional flour tortilla will do, Old El Paso describes its flour tortillas as wraps for fajitas and burritos. They are a different choice from wraps bought specifically for their seed ingredients.
People planning a gluten-free meal
Choose a product specifically labelled gluten-free rather than assuming that seeded, wholemeal or corn wording is enough. Check the ingredients and allergen statement on the pack you will serve.
What should you check before choosing?
Seeded wraps
Choose when: You want the seeds themselves to be part of your fakeaway wraps.
Bear in mind: M&S Seeded Tortilla Wraps contain wheat, so they do not meet a gluten-free requirement.
Flour tortillas
Choose when: You want a conventional wheat tortilla for fajitas or burritos and seeds are optional.
Bear in mind: A standard flour tortilla is not a substitute for a specifically seeded or gluten-free wrap.
Gluten-free tortillas
Choose when: A gluten-free label matters more for this meal than the seeded preference.
Bear in mind: Check the exact pack's ingredients, allergens and wrap count before serving.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Seed ingredients | Read the ingredients list for the seeds you want. Ocado / M&S Food lists linseed, poppy seeds and quinoa in M&S Seeded Tortilla Wraps. | I want seeds in the wraps themselves, not just a conventional tortilla alongside seeded fillings. |
| Warming and filling | Check the pack's warming directions and whether its stated serving uses suit your filling. Joybuy describes Old El Paso flour tortillas as wraps for fajitas and burritos. | For hot fajita-style fillings, I want a wrap I can prepare as directed and serve with the meal. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Look for a specific gluten-free label if required, then read the current ingredients and allergen statement. Seeded or wholemeal wording does not establish gluten-free suitability. | Someone at the table needs a gluten-free wrap, so a wheat-based seeded or flour tortilla will not meet that requirement. |
| Leftover wraps | Check the opened-pack storage, date mark and freezing instructions on the exact product before planning another meal. | We may not use a full pack on fakeaway night; I want to know how to store what remains. |
Common buying mistakes
-
Assuming seeded means gluten-free
M&S Seeded Tortilla Wraps contain wheat. Seeds in a wrap do not establish whether it meets a gluten-free requirement.
For a gluten-free meal, select a wrap specifically labelled gluten-free and read the current pack's allergen statement.
-
Picking a plain wrap when you wanted seeds
Old El Paso flour tortillas suit a conventional fajita or burrito meal, but they are not the seeded option described by Ocado / M&S Food.
If seed ingredients are central to your choice, check the ingredient list before choosing. Compare any nutrition figures on the same stated basis, such as per wrap or per 100g.
-
Overlooking storage after opening
A partly used pack needs to be stored according to its own instructions, which matters if fakeaway night will not use every wrap.
Read the opened-pack and freezing directions before planning when to use the remainder.
-
Assuming every listing describes the same pack count
A pack's total weight alone does not tell you how many wraps you will have for guests.
Confirm the wrap count, ingredients and allergen information on the exact gluten-free pack you receive.

Wrap options by fakeaway scenario
This scenario-fit order puts the seeded preference first, a conventional flour wrap second and a separate gluten-free requirement third, using product information from Ocado / M&S Food, Old El Paso and Joybuy. It is not an overall quality ranking; a gluten-free requirement takes precedence over the seeded preference for a meal that needs it.
| Rank | Wrap | Main specifications | Reasons to consider | Platform |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | M&S Seeded Tortilla Wraps | Contains linseed, poppy seeds and quinoa; wheat-based. | Ocado / M&S Food identifies the seed ingredients, making this the specifically seeded choice in this scenario. It does not meet a gluten-free requirement. | Ocado / M&S Food |
| 2 | Old El Paso Flour Tortillas 326g | 326g pack; flour tortillas containing wheat. | Joybuy describes these as tortillas for fajitas and burritos. Consider them when a conventional wrap matters more than seed ingredients. | Joybuy |
| 3 | Old El Paso Gluten Free Tortilla Wraps 216g | 216g pack; labelled gluten-free. | Joybuy lists a gluten-free option for a different meal requirement, rather than a seeded equivalent. Check the exact pack's contents and allergen statement. | Joybuy |

Frequently asked questions
Are seeded tortilla wraps gluten-free?
Not necessarily. M&S Seeded Tortilla Wraps contain wheat, despite their seed ingredients. If your meal requires a gluten-free wrap, look for one specifically labelled gluten-free and check the current pack's ingredients and allergen statement.
Can I warm M&S Seeded Tortilla Wraps?
Yes, the M&S product guidance describes serving them warm or cold. Follow the pack's warming directions for the number of wraps you are preparing.
Can I freeze leftover tortilla wraps?
M&S describes its Seeded Tortilla Wraps as suitable for freezing, and the Old El Paso flour and gluten-free product information also describes home freezing. Follow the date, storage and defrosting instructions on the exact pack you have.
What should I check when serving someone with an allergy?
Read the ingredients, allergen statement and any precautionary wording on the exact pack before serving. Product type alone is not enough: the seeded M&S wraps contain wheat, while Old El Paso advises that ingredients and allergens can change with reformulation.
