Sysco said continued productivity gains from its supply chain supported year-over-year profit growth across all four business segments. U.S. Foodservice results included supply chain productivity improvements, while strategic sourcing efficiencies helped offset product-cost inflation. Fourth-quarter enterprise product-cost inflation was 2.8%, primarily in meat and fresh produce, and fiscal-year inflation was 3.0%, primarily in meat and seafood.
