The International Foodservice Distributors Association (IFDA)

The International Foodservice Distributors Association (IFDA) works to help our foodservice distributor members succeed. IFDA members include leading broadline, system, and specialty distributors who operate more than 700 distribution facilities and represent annual sales of more than $110 billion. These companies help make the food away from home industry possible, delivering food and other related products to restaurants and institutions — from the local pizzeria or burger shop to your favorite Italian restaurant or white tablecloth establishment, from nursing homes and hospitals to military mess halls and school cafeterias. As a trade association, IFDA provides research, educational opportunities, and business forums to our members that make them more competitive. In the United States, IFDA also provides important representation on Capitol Hill, sharing the perspective of the industry to shape government policy.
