Dot Foods Distribution Center
Not affiliated with DOT Foods.
THE QUICK READ
Dot Foods runs a food redistribution center in Modesto, moving products from manufacturers to retail, foodservice, and industrial customers instead of making anything itself. Warehouse and maintenance crews handle frozen and refrigerated storage alongside dry goods, plus an on-site garage and gate station for the truck fleet. The facility holds roughly 14,000 pounds of ammonia — large enough to require a formal process safety management program, since federal rules kick in at 10,000 pounds. The site has grown from a dry warehouse into a full frozen-and-refrigerated distribution hub over the years.

ABOUT DOT FOODS
Dot Foods began in 1960 when Robert and Dorothy Tracy started a food redistribution business in Mount Sterling, Illinois, consolidating orders from manufacturers to warehouses and retailers. The company changed its name from Associated Dairy Products to Dot Foods in 1981. It has grown into the largest food redistribution company in North America, operating more than a dozen distribution centers across the country and employing thousands of workers in warehousing, transportation, and sales. Dot Foods remains privately owned and operated by the Tracy family, now into its second and third generations of leadership.
