According to US Foods, these awards recognize vendor partners who demonstrate excellence over the past year in various aspects, including as innovators in packaging development and R&D, experts in commodity purchasing and risk management, and creators of new, ingenious solutions that add value to products. US Foods explains that the selected vendors also provided best-in-class service to US Foods associates and shared customers.

As we’ve previously reported, Mann Packing also won Sysco’s Supplier of the Year award earlier this year.
