In its own words
What could break it.
Commodity & input dependence
- diesel fuel for the delivery fleet (~70% of FY2026 needs hedged)medium
Sysco's large delivery fleet exposes it to diesel-fuel price risk; it uses diesel fuel swaps (≈77M gallons through Feb 2027) locking ~85% of bulk fuel (≈70% of total projected fuel needs) for fiscal 2026, with the remainder exposed to market rates.
“We use diesel fuel swap contracts to fix the price of a portion of our projected monthly diesel fuel requirements. As of June 28, 2025, we had diesel fuel swaps with a total notional amount of approximately 77 million gallons through February 2027. These swaps are expected to lock in the price of approximately 85% of our bulk fuel purchases for fiscal 2026, or 70% of our total projected fuel purchase needs for fiscal 2026.”
Regulatory & policy
- FDA / FSMA food-safety regulation (plus USDA meat/poultry and import rules)medium
As a food marketer/distributor, Sysco is subject to the FDCA and FDA regulation, with the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) significantly expanding mandatory prevention-based food-safety controls across the supply chain, plus USDA meat/poultry inspection and import requirements.
“The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) has significantly expanded our food safety requirements, including certain mandatory safety prevention practices. The FDA has finalized numerous regulations implementing FSMA, recognizing that ensuring the safety of the food supply is a shared responsibility among many different points in the global supply chain.”
