ROSEMONT, Ill.  – US Foods Holdings Corp. expects to close its acquisition of SGA’s Food Group companies in the next few days. The Federal Trade Commission approved the $1.8 billion sale, which includes the operating companies Food Services of America Inc., Systems Services of America Inc., Amerifresh Inc., Ameristar Meat Inc. and Gampac Express Inc.
