Excess Inventory at Processors
Pursuant to the new procedures relating to excess inventory at processors, we have implemented a new module on the Illinois Commodity System (ICS). The new module is located under the Annual Order Forms main menu option on ICS and is called Excess Processing. There are currently many products available.
Any excess inventory is listed by processor and can be claimed by any school that does not have excess inventory at processors. The inventory will be offered on a first come first served basis. Those schools claiming pounds should be familiar with commodity processing procedures and end product distribution.
Excess inventory from processors could come at any time so we advise checking the list on a weekly if not daily basis as we anticipate any inventory that comes along will be claimed quickly.
The excess inventory procedures can be found below by selecting Inventory Level Procedures at Further Processors Letter.
If you have any questions about the procedures or the module, please call the Food Distribution Program at 217-782-2491.
