Sysco is terminating an $8.2 billion acquisition of food distribution competitor US Foods, days after a federal judge granted the Federal Trade Commission’s request for an injunction on antitrust grounds. Had the merger gone through, the new entity would have controlled roughly 75% of the foodservice marketplace.

The partnership is expected to improve food and beverage operations and procurement efficiency for KemperSports’ more than 200 restaurant and banquet outlets, providing unique access to innovative national purchasing capabilities.
