RMDIs

RMDIs, or Registered Master Distributors, are a designation within the food distribution industry in the United States. This classification is typically awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to companies that meet specific standards for receiving, storing, and handling food products. The primary purpose of the RMDI designation is to ensure the safety and integrity of the food supply chain.

Companies holding RMDI status are subject to regular inspections and audits by the USDA. These evaluations focus on various aspects of their operations, including sanitation, temperature control, pest management, and traceability of products. By adhering to these stringent requirements, RMDIs play a crucial role in preventing foodborne illnesses and maintaining consumer confidence. The designation is voluntary, but it signifies a commitment to high standards of food safety and quality. It often serves as a mark of distinction for distributors, indicating reliability and adherence to federal guidelines.
