[Diabetes-Talk] Schwans

[pmdonahue2 at gmail.com]

Good morning everyone,

	Schwans has lots of great food items to meet the needs of many people including diabetics. We used them for a while several years ago until they began mucking with our delivery date. I recall one week when we were expecting a delivery. That order included lasagna. We decided to have it that night. All went well until we received an e-mail message informing us that our delivery date had been pushed back two weeks. We let them know loud and clear that we wouldn't put up with such behavior and ceased doing business with them.

	Given the pandemic and increased popularity of grocery delivery services we were hoping that companies that supply food to commercial establishments would begin offering home delivery services to individuals and families. These guys would be reliable and dependable and would insure that your delivery arrived when it should. Cisco Foods is one such company but there are others. They would keep the likes of Schwans on their toes and result in improvements to their scheduling and delivery practices. All the best.

Peter Donahue

Hi, Terri.


Schwan's does have some diabetic friendly options like frozen vegetables in steamer bags, as well as meat, various potatoes, etc.  You can also find some recipes and nutritional labels on their web site.


They can be quite pricey, but some of their selections like their individual steamer bags and some of their frozen fruit are really good and they have things I might not find at my local store.


You can pay with cash, a Schwan's gift card, credit/debit cards and EBT, and they offer several different delivery times, at least they do in my area.


Hope this helps.
