Foodservice News In Brief…
The Schwan Food Co. has formed Schwan’s Chef Collective, a team of up-and-coming chefs from across the U.S. who will assist in developing the next generation of Schwan-branded frozen foods. The announcement comes on the heels of the company’s commitment to removing four ingredient groups from foods sold by every subsidiary of Schwan, including Schwan’s Home Service, Schwan’s Consumer Brands and Schwan’s Food Service. “We believe the Schwan’s Chef Collective will help us change the way people think about the frozen food category,” said Dimitrios Smyrnios, CEO of Schwan Food Co. “We are proud to work with these talented chefs to make a spectrum of great food—indulgent-to-wholesome, convenient-to-authentic and simple-to-sophisticated—with the goal of exciting our retail, foodservice and home-delivery customers.” As a part of Schwan’s Chef Collective, chefs will partner with the Schwan culinary team based in Marshall, Minnesota. The inaugural team includes seven accomplished chefs external to the company who have honed their crafts in diverse culinary ventures across the country—from restaurants to food trucks and even the development of cookbooks.
