It’s the 6gallon bibs that you speak of that are unavailable. They are not shutting down production lines to keep this product active, they are 95% focused on retail right now.... which is affecting other things like the availability of non-fat milk because there isn’t enough volume for heavy cream right now.

The dramatic shift from food service to retail is massive and nobody is ready for it. Couple this with the fact that many plants are shitting down and those that are operational are enforcing mandatory spacing and accordingly production itself has been cut in half as well.

It’s a very serious situation right now and the next 3-5 weeks are going to be very difficult, especially for beef.
