Federal Trade Commission Bureau of Competition Director Debbie Feinstein issued this statement following the announcement from Sysco and U.S. Foods that they will abandon their proposed merger:
“Sysco and U.S. Foods’ decision to abandon the transaction is a victory for both competition and consumers. The evidence shows that Sysco and US Foods were strong rivals in broadline food distribution whose combination would have harmed consumers.”
