MESSAGE SUPPLY CHAIN CONSTRAINTS

Re: Ongoing supply chain constraints
As you may have already heard in the news: due to pandemic shutdowns, droughts, labor shortages, shipping port congestion, and a backlog of trucking schedules, the manufacturing and delivery of goods has been greatly slowed. All of these factors come at a time when stimulus money has increased consumer demand for goods, so the overall demand is greater than the supply, and the US is playing catch up with the supply chain.
What this means for IDOC is that although there is enough food and other consumables available, there isnt always the full quantity of specific items available to us, or deliveries of certain goods are being delayed.
As we work through this situation (which is expected to last at least through the end of the year), you may see menu substitutions at your facility. We will do our best to communicate menu changes in advance, but we are often not given advance notice of delivery changes. Please know that I am working daily with our suppliers to ensure that our menus have as much variety as possible, and I review every item change to ensure nutrient standards continue to be met. There is plenty of food to go around, it just may not always be what is on the standard menu.
We ask for your patience and understanding as we navigate these purchasing and delivery unknowns.
