Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 27, 2024 Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis Results of Operations Fiscal Year Ended December 27, 2024 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 29, Net Sales, page 37

1. We note your disclosure quantifying percentage changes in metrics, such as "organic case count increased approximately 4.6% in our specialty category" and "specialty unique customers and placements increased 6.6% and 11.6%." Providing these percentages without the underlying metrics does not provide sufficient context as to the significance of these factors on changes in your results. Please revise to quantify, in absolute dollars, the impact of factors to which changes are attributed. Gross Profit, page 38

2. You disclose "gross profit dollars increased primarily as a result of sales growth and price inflation." Please revise to quantify the impact of these factors to your cost of sales and gross profit. Further, please expand your disclosure to discuss the extent to which inflationary costs are passed on to your customers. Refer to Item 303 of Regulation S-K and Section III.B of Release No. 33-8350 for guidance. August 26, 2025 Page 2

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 13 - Segment Information, page 71

Please tell us your consideration of disclosing revenue attributed to your country of domicile, the United States, separately from all other countries. Refer to ASC 280-10- 50-41(a). We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the staff.
