USD 383’s Child Nutrition department has resolved its food supply chain concerns for the time being.
The district said Monday that Ben E. Keith Co. and F&A Food Sales, Inc., along with Hiland Dairy Foods and Liberty Fruit Company have increased services to meet the food supply need for students.
The announcement comes nearly a week after district officials reported their primary food supplier Sysco had cancelled its contract with USD 383 earlier this month. Sysco has cancelled contracts with several Kansas school districts stemming from staffing shortages.
As a result, USD 383 says it has high confidence that all feeding programs will be able to continue uninterrupted and at full capacity.
