The food marketing system, including food service (food away from home) and food retailing (food at home), supplied about $1.18 trillion worth of food in 2009. The foodservice industry ($575 billion) was nearly equal in size to food retailing ($607 billion). This chart originally appeared in the Food Service chapter of the Food Marketing System in the U.S briefing room, November 2010.
