Restaurants Trying To Come Back From Pandemic Lose Important Food Supplier

 It’s another “gut punch” for Minnesota restaurants still trying to rebound from the pandemic.

Some are finding they can’t get food to sell.  Illinois-based U-S Foods has notified its customers it “needs to take a pause.”

The company says its Minneapolis distribution center is dealing with staffing challenges.

U-S Foods says it expects the situation to be temporary and it “understands the immediate service disruptions are frustrating.”

U-S Foods hasn’t said how many clients are affected by the pause in service or how long it could last.
