At Schwan’s Home Delivery, we make every effort to source our ingredients and produce our food in the United States whenever possible. However, we occasionally work with international partners to source the unique ingredients to meet our (and your) flavor and quality expectations.

Rest assured, we hold our international partners to the same rigorous safety and quality standards and require them to comply with all United States governmental regulations for safe food production. We continually audit our partners and their facilities to ensure they consistently meet our strict requirements. Also, we do not do business with partners who have a history of problems with food safety, quality or employee rights.

Those products that are sourced from outside the United States will show the country of origin with the nutrition & ingredients information on each product’s web page and packaging.

We’re committed to transparency in how we source our ingredients and produce our food. Starting in 2021, you’ll see a new statement on Schwan’s Home Delivery packaging that indicates if a product contains ingredients produced through bioengineering. On our website, this statement can be found with the nutrition and ingredients, if applicable.

For more information about bioengineered foods, check out the USDA’s website

The United States, where most of our ingredients are sourced, has accepted and embraced the use of bioengineering. Bioengineering is a way of cultivating seeds for heartier plant-life when growing food. As the world’s population gets bigger, food producers are working to increase their crops while reducing wasted food from drought, pests and transportation. Bioengineering helps with all of that.

This method of farming has been around for more than 30 years and is currently in use worldwide for its success in contributing to both environmental issues and food safety.

For more information about bioengineered foods, check out the USDA’s website.

Currently, many Schwan’s Home Delivery product packages can be recycled, including white paperboard boxes, brown kraft (cardboard) boxes, black trays and bowls, and 1-gallon and 1.5-gallon ice cream containers/lids, even if they aren’t marked as recyclable. In some communities, the Styrofoam containers used when we ship direct are recyclable. Currently, our product bags, inner films, pint and 56 oz. ice cream containers and lids products are not recyclable. We encourage you to check with your local community’s website or recycling center for policies and guidelines specific to your area before recycling.

Many of our packaging materials are coated or laminated to keep your food safe, protected and delicious on our trucks and in your freezer. These materials are not currently accepted by recyclers.
