US Foods Innovative Solutions

Hungry For Better

US Foods believes that it all starts with what’s real. And we know that both you and your diners are hungry for better. You want authentic, simple ingredients from sources you know and trust, along with clear information to help you decide what’s right for your establishment. We’re committed to working with our partners and suppliers to bring you the best and widest selection of products that are LocalSustainable or made with Well-Being in mind.

Serve Good® Program
The Serve Good® program represents our continuing effort at US Foods® to serve delicious food while serving good. From sustainably sourced foods to items made from recycled materials, products within the Serve Good portfolio are developed with suppliers who are committed to responsible practices, and many items come with the reassurance of verification by third-party certifiers. To be included in the Serve Good program, a product requires two attributes: responsible sourcing or contribution to waste reduction and arrive in packaging that meets our program specifications.

Unpronounceables List
Consumers today are demanding products with simple and clean ingredient labels, and at US Foods® we are committed to helping our operators meet those expectations. Through our Unpronounceables List initiative, we have cleaned up our ingredient profiles – creating new US Foods Exclusive Brand products and reformulating others by avoiding, removing or replacing certain ingredients and food additives such as artificial flavors and artificial (FD&C) colors, hydrogenated oils, high-fructose corn syrup and MSG. 

Scoop™, Inspire your menu, feed your passion
Scoop™, our exclusive product-innovation launch, is all about food and fresh ideas designed to inspire your culinary vision. You’ll discover cutting-edge back-of-house convenience and ingredients diners want. Scoop™ helps solve challenges our customers routinely face – including time, labor, and storage limitations. Customers find imaginative new dishes, sides, ingredients, and kitchen items that are specifically designed to improve their operations.
