Example label
Chicken tikka wrap label example
A chicken tikka wrap packed before sale is wheat from the tortilla and milk from the yoghurt marinade. The paste decides whether mustard, celery or soya join them. A dairy-free marinade is a different label.

The label
Ingredients (teaching narrative)
Wheat tortilla, chicken, yoghurt (milk), tikka paste (mustard, celery), mint yoghurt (milk).
- Wheat — tortilla
- Milk — both yoghurts
- Mustard and celery — if the paste contains them
What this teaches
Two yoghurts mean milk emphasised twice. The paste is a compound ingredient and has to be broken out.
Is this PPDS?
Wraps made and sealed before the lunch queue are PPDS. A wrap rolled in front of the customer is not.
Questions
Is tikka always dairy?
Do spices need emphasis?
