Always add cold water to Schwartz Recipe Mixes, unless otherwise stated in our directions.
Adding hot water would prematurely start the cooking process and make the mix lumpy.

using a 3.5L slow cooker, the recipe on the back of pack works very well without the addition of water, unless specifically stated in the recipe. The ingredients required, such as a tin of tomatoes, vegetables and meat are sufficient to give you the perfect result at the end of the cooking time.

The cooking bag contained within the packaging of this product is made from Polyethylene also called PE.

Alternatively, you can also now buy our products online. Simply go to the Products page on this website here and navigate through to the page of the product you wish to purchase. Add the product to your basket and proceed to the checkout, or continue shopping.

We have previously printed Schwartz cookbooks, however, we haven’t produced any in the last few years and no longer hold any in stock. Most of the recipes which were available in the cook books are now available on our website, together with a large selection of scrummy new ones. Just click on the Recipes tab here and use our recipe search function to be inspired and find what you’re looking for.

As we only have a limited amount of space on shelves in supermarkets, we work hard to ensure that the best possible range is available to our consumers. As a result, we only produce carton packs of our top-selling products, so that in addition to offering our customers great value, we also offer great choice.

All of our delicious Schwartz recipes are now available on our website. Just click on the recipe page here, and use the search filters to find recipes to tickle your taste buds.

You can also now email the recipes on our website to a friend, or download them and save them on your computer. Or why not register with Schwartz here so you can add the Schwartz recipes you like to your own recipe folder online, ready to be accessed at any time of the day or night?

From time to time we do discontinue some of our products. This is usually because the sales of the product have been falling, or because there is a lack of demand for it from our customers.

Schwartz products do not at this time contain any added MSG as part of their recipe. If they did, we would clearly identify this in the ingredient declaration shown on the back of each pack.

Please see ingredient list for details.

There are many species of cinnamon, each of which is sourced in different geographical locations and which have differing properties for use in food.

Schwartz Whole Cinnamon Sticks are produced from Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum, sometimes called True Cinnamon) as this variety has the appropriate physical properties to produce useable whole cinnamon quills.

In common with many other manufacturers in the UK and worldwide, Schwartz Ground Cinnamon has for many years been composed of Cinnamomum cassia, as this produces a spice with a stronger, sweeter flavour more suitable for baking and other applications.

Cinnamon has been used as an ingredient to add taste to food for centuries and, like many other natural food products, it should have no adverse effect on health if consumed in moderation, as part of a balanced diet. Coumarin is a naturally occurring component of all Cinnamomum species and levels will naturally vary. Although Coumarin levels are naturally higher in Cassia than ceylon cinnamon, Schwartz carefully monitor and control the quality of our Ground Cinnamon to ensure that applicable safety tolerances are met.

In the most recent redesign to our Schwartz packaging (starting to appear now in shops) our labelling has been updated to clearly reflect the nature of the cinnamon species used for all our products.

Schwartz considers requests for donations very carefully. Please contact us and we would be more than happy to put your request forward. We try to help as many events as possible, however, we do get a number of requests every week and unfortunately we are unable to say yes to everybody.
