Perhaps you misread me. The restaurant food are packaged. They dont put milk are scrambled eggs in open containers. They are bagged. The difference is the type of packaging. Consumers get one type and restaurants another. The restaurant packaging maybe more fragile which is why they wont sell it to consumers?

I'd buy a bag of milk. Don't the goofball Canadians do that anyway?

Right. I know it wont fix everything. Probably not even 1% of the problem. But that small fraction could help some and lessen the pain of others. Opening up and getting back on track would absolutely be the right call. I would be happy to work tomorrow if they opened that fast.

Before this, I thought of only one supply rather than one for consumers and others for restaurants. I am still not sure why they couldnt be combined. I know government is probably why. A restaurant could get them packaged as they do now, or if they want, just go to the store and buy the consumer version. But the consumers have only the one choice. If the consumers had both, they would still be backed up, but slightly less if going by my 1% example.

Other way around. Retail packaging is less sturdy than food service packing. But the problem is that the food service lines are maxed out and they can’t produce more packaging. Instead they have excess food service packaging with greatly diminished demand for it.

I didnt know that that food service packaging is more sturdy. I've seen bags of milk and looked easier to break then a retail gallon and based it off that. Probably shouldnt have. If it's not the packaging, do you know why the consumers couldnt just buy it like we can with retail packaging?

You're talking about the inner pack. Inner pack could be anything. Generally speaking food service outer packing (case packing for example) is sturdier. Commercial kitchens have a lot more movement than home kitchens.
