The cause of death was respiratory failure, her daughter, Jane S. Smith, told the New York Times.
Clamato, a cocktail juice made with tomato juice, onions, celery, spices and a dash of clam juice, is known for being a key ingredient in the Michelada. It is made and distributed by Mott's.
Along with independently helping food corporations develop new products, Schur was the founder of her own restaurant and food company consulting business, Creative Food Services.
"She was a pioneer of modern food usage," her Creative Food Services coworker Heidi Kost-Gross told the Times. "Her company was at the cutting edge of how food should look and taste, and above all, how it should be used."
Because of the nature of her business -- promoting her clients' products and recipes to the press -- Schur became well known with newspaper and magazine editors nationwide. Consequently, in 1978 she became the food editor at Parade Magazine.
Julia Child took over the position after Schur, and "Silver Palate" cookbook author, Sheila Lukins, took over after Child. Lukins also died recently after battling brain cancer.

How did you come to the conclusions that it wasn't something esle or just her time to go. She had lived a long, and must have been a pretty heathy life to continue on so many years. It's hard to believe that Clamato caused her death, without alittle more detail into how it happened. April

Now, staying on the topic I enjoy the stuff...it works great as a mixer as well...just has too much salt...so you need to adjust certain recipes.
