WORLD OF SYSCO TITLE
Produce at Its Peak
Whether you are serving mixed green lettuces, sliced heirloom tomatoes or sweet roasted beets, nothing is more important than freshness. Sysco partners with the most established and respected names in the produce industry—from small local farms to nationally known brands—to bring you the highest-quality, freshest and safest fruits and vegetables in the country. From avocados to zucchini, every item is carefully chosen, handled and stored at its proper temperature. “Citrus is different from lettuce, which is different from apples” in terms of how they need to be handled and stored, says Nancy Johnston, Senior Manager of Produce Sales at Sysco. “We have the largest Quality Assurance [QA] staff in the foodservice industry, with individuals in the fields, in the coolers, checking each product every day before it gets loaded onto the [temperature-controlled] trucks.” The QA staff even goes into the fields and chooses which section will be harvested for our specialized, frequent-delivery FreshPoint brand or our Sysco Imperial Fresh brand. As the largest procurer of produce in the foodservice industry, Sysco has the staff, resources and technology to deliver the best product to our customers, supplying both mom-and-pop operations and the multivenue chains that serve a multitude of salads every day. Whatever kind of operation you run, Sysco brings the best produce available right to your door.
