Schwan's

[Guest guest]

I checked with Schwan's about a few products I was interested in. If

anyone is interested, they have a web site www.schwans.com and a toll

free phone of 1-888-schwans. They do no have a " gluten free list " ,

but will give you the list of ingredients and verify GFCF status on

any product you are interested in. Of the products I checked, the

following were GFCF:

skinless franks

hash brown shreds

beef taquito (my son loves these and he doesn't usually eat meat)

mashed potato nuggets

I'll be calling later this week to check on some more items and will

post what I find out.

Thanks for the Schwans info. I had emailed a request, and they won't give

this info out by email but did give me another phone number besides the

main toll-free number for calling up to verify. Don't know whether or not

it matters which one you use, but the specific one they gave me for this

purpose is 1-. We established that the vegetables should all

be ok unless they have pasta with them (the vegetables are frozen) and the

unbreaded fish should also be ok. In addition to what has already been

listed, the roasted chicken drumsticks, and either the unbreaded chicken

or unbreaded turkey filets may be ok (I think it's the turkey because I

remember the chicken is in a light marinade of some kind). I'm going to

call and re-verify these items again later this week as I usually verify

things twice and then again if I find any changes on the ingredients

lists; will let you know for sure about the chicken/turkey. Sorry I

didn't post this before, but totally forgot till I saw the other post. By

the way, is the salsa ok with the taquitos or just the taquitos

themselves--sorry if that's a really ignorant question but I haven't had

somebody read me the ingredients on this product yet?

Also, I will say that Schwans was very good about forwarding my original

email from the internet response team to the Customer Product information

department and the response time was very short. Also, they were happy to

look up the ingredients for several products and never rushed or bothered

by my questions. However, I also felt that I needed to be very specific

with my questions as I'm not sure just " is this product gluten/casein

free? " would be adequately understood. But I think this is true of most

companies you call, unless possibly it's a company that specifically

caters to people on special diets. Better to err on the side of caution

than to worry about somebody feeling insulted because you were too

specific. And if they can't tell me what the " modified food starch " or

" flavorings " are, that product is off my list until I can find out more.
