Are you looking for foodservice/restaurant distribution or grocery/retail? That distinction is important to finding the right distributor or wholesaler. Not only are they typically different suppliers their requirements will differ. For example a grocery distributor will have very different pack size requirement design to optimize the freezer space in a typical grocery store while a foodservice distributor would have interest in how large a bag fills a basket for cooking.
See the following resources that may help you.
