Skeptics warn there may be no adequate remedies to protect consumers in an industry that, in the words of lawmakers on the Senate Antitrust Subcommittee, "touches every single American consumer who eats meals away from home." Consumer advocates warn that the deal merging the top two broadline foodservice distributors – the only two with national industry footprints and national customers – would eliminate a significant competitor from the broadline industry and also reduce competition "in many regions, states and metropolitan areas (where Sysco and US Foods) are the primary rivals for this market," according to Food and Water Watch. Last week, Sysco announced its plan to divest 11 US Foods facilities to Performance Food Group (PFG) in an effort to remedy antitrust concerns and secure FTC approval. Sysco currently operates 111 broadline distribution centers; US Foods operates 59.
