Today, Americans are asking, “It’s delicious, but is it sustainable? What’s the story”?

It’s a story you should tell your diners. 80% of consumers are concerned about food sustainability, but 62% aren’t sure which restaurants are committed.

So let them know our Harbor Banks® Beer Battered Alaskan Cod is harvested according to Alaska’s exemplary sustainability standards.

The first natural and minimally processed fry on the market, ours provides great texture and better hold than other uncoated fries.

“Americana” means items old and new that are distinctly American and capture our attention. Picture vintage restaurant tableware or a welcoming neon marquee. Now picture American inspiration on your own menu.

That’s the mission of this “Americana” issue of Scoop. Our nearly two-dozen new food items are distinctly American-themed products. And inside, we explain their inspiration, their innovation and how they can work for you.

There’s innovation in each new product. We’re introducing three flavorful burgers that speak directly to current trends and your bottom line. Fish harvested according to Alaska’s admirable sustainability guidelines. Three distinctive regional barbecue sauces that invite creative uses. And 15 more new products are “Americana”-themed and distinctly US Foods®.

Just dig in and you’ll see. Then contact your sales rep or visit USFoods.com to learn more.
