Performance Food Group

Like, can you imagine the entrance costs to get into that? So then you can start to see how that has a moat around it.

Performance Food Group.

Has anybody ever heard of that? Maybe, maybe not.

Performance Food Group is one of the three largest distributors for food in the U.S., And so think about if, again, Jeremy, tomorrow you're like, hey, I want to get into the food distribution service.

You need warehouses, you need trucks, you need delivery routes.

Like this isn't something that a competitor can come in and stand up overnight.

James Uthmeier's issued a civil investigative subpoena over the use of potassium bromate, an additive that can strengthen dough but may cause cancer.

Today we are issuing more subpoenas to Performance Food Group.

I think it's about the third-largest distributor, food distributor in the country, uh, and it is distributing products to restaurants and storefronts and, and other businesses that ultimately, uh, are selling it to the consumers.

He's already issued similar subpoenas to General Mills and Pillsbury.

The Attorney General, James Uthmeier, talked about the expansion of a state consumer protection investigation into the nation's food supply chain.

New subpoenas to Performance Food Group over the distribution of flour products containing a potentially cancer-causing additive.

So the legal action targets the nation's third largest food distributor as state officials investigate the widespread use of potassium bromate Go ahead, look it up.

It's a chemical compound added to commercial flour to strengthen dough, increase elasticity, and extend shelf life.

In the world we live today and the way we do things and how we move around, you've got to have ultra-processed.

You do? How come? Anyway, so the chemical compound there, that's what this subpoena is about.

It's asking that Performance Food Group produce records by November 6th regarding its warehouse inventories, knowledge of safety risks, and distribution networks across its Orlando and Miami operations dating back to 2023.

Oh, boy.

The show was fantastic.

It's the Performance Food Group, PFG, that puts on their show.

And when I tell you they do it, it's a spectacular show.

It's all their best vendors, most of which we use at Katie's and Francesca.

So that's why that was my specialty, was pizza and Italian.

And then we merged with Performance Food Group-

Yeah

... and kinda sorta became a broadliner, but I'd say more of a hybrid, not quite a broadliner the warehouse I was out of.

I'm really fortunate in we have a huge Bosnian population in St. Louis.

One of the guys that runs the meat program at PFG is Bosnian.

What's PFG?

Performance Food Group.

It's like a Sysco.

He has been in Houston, Texas for five years in the warehouse industry since 2008.

He has since worked in both the for and not-for-profit warehouse industries with a tenure at Performance Food Service and the Common Market of Texas.

Delvin has taken numerous courses in proper handling of food and food safety at the Common Market and has thoroughly studied leadership both inside and outside the classroom.

He has been in the Common Market for three and a half years and continues to use all his knowledge and training given to him.

And then moving into hospitality with tremendous distributor backing.

So Southern Glaciers, U.S. Foods, PFG, Cisco.

So, so many of distributors because they also see that no alcohol is leaving their trucks, Paul.

Right, right.
