COSTA LAUNCHES NEW VEGGIE GLUTEN-FREE WRAP
This week Costa, the nation’s favourite coffee shop, is launching its new Free Range Egg and Slow Roasted Tomato Gluten-Free Wrap as part of its new Summer food and drink range.
The wrap, which has been especially created for customers who are coeliac and gluten-intolerant, is the first vegetarian option in Costa’s growing gluten-free range.
The wrap is baked in a dedicated gluten-free bakery with linseed, sunflower and millet seed which gives it a rich flavour and slightly crunchy texture. The free-range creamy egg mayonnaise with fresh vine ripened tomatoes is topped with apollo lettuce, making it a delicious gluten-free lunch alternative.
Jane Treasure, Head of Food & Beverage Development for Costa UK & Ireland said, “ We are always listening to what our customers want to see on our menu so when our social media followers told us they wanted a vegetarian gluten-free option we listened.
With one in 100 people having coeliac disease in the UK, we hope that our new Free Range Egg and Slow Roasted Tomato wrap is a welcomed addition to our current gluten-free offering.”
The wrap, which is fully certified by Coeliac UK, joins the British Chicken and Basil Salad gluten-free wrap, gluten-free Cherry Bakewell and gluten-free Chocolate Brownie in Costa’s growing range of gluten-free menu options.
The new Costa Free Range Egg and Slow Roasted Tomato Gluten-Free Wrap will be available across Costa stores nationwide from 28th May at an RRP of £3.75.
