Midwest Foods

Reducing food waste isn't separate from business performance. It's a key part of it.

That was one of our biggest takeaways from the 2026 ReFED Food Waste Solutions Summit, where our Director of Local & Sustainability, Alex Frantz, joined organizations from across the food system to explore solutions for reducing food waste.

From conversations about collaboration and waste prevention to innovative approaches for improving forecasting and product utilization, the Summit reinforced how much can be accomplished when every part of the supply chain works together.

We've shared our biggest takeaways, along with what they mean for Midwest Foods and the customers we serve, in our latest blog.

Today we celebrate Juneteenth, honoring freedom, resilience, and the enduring strength of Black communities.

This day marks a powerful moment in American history and also reminds us that the work of equity, understanding, and awareness is ongoing. We reflect, we learn, and we continue to support progress toward a more just and inclusive food system and community.

As a company rooted in local agriculture and the people who grow and distribute food across our region, we recognize the importance of uplifting voices across the supply chain and continuing to build relationships grounded in respect, opportunity, and inclusion.
