Any Yelloh/Schwans customers here? UPDATE IN POST #26

They were started in the 1950's and it was the trend at the time to use science to prolong shelf life and create easily prepared convenience foods. I would prety much expect that.

Yes, and it is a factor in all of the health problems we see today. We have traded good health for convenience, unfortunately.

A rather "hot" topic with me and DH since he started ordering.

It might be a blessing in disguise. I looked into Schwann's awhile back and if you are getting their meals, they are highly processed and loaded with additives and preservatives. I was very surprised. Even something as simple as steak (which should be only beef) had water, salt and sodium phosphate added to it. It might be worth looking at the ingredients in the products you buy.

Yes, we stopped buying the steaks from them decades ago because of the salt solution. Unfortunately, you have to be careful at the grocery store with added salt solution too. Getting harder and harder to find chicken that hasn't been injected with a salt solution.

You're absolutely right. I just meant I wasn't surprised about it.

I agree. I have really been looking at the labels of all foods.

Well, the REST of the story comes out. As of today Schwans/Yelloh is going out of business in California. All their depots are closing today and I got my last delivery. They will UPS you an order from Lord only knows where. I have had pretty luck with getting frozen food being shipped.

I just read where Schwans sold 80% of their company to South Korea for $1.8 billion and has changed its name to Yelloh.

Thanks for the update TVguy.

I don't see anything about them being sold.
They changed their name to Yelloh a year ago.
