Where did the restaurants and the school get their food from? I know that means a great disruption, but I’m still not convinced that means a shortage.

Sysco and the like. It's probably a distribution rather than a supply issue.

Exactly. Typical container size in foodservice distribution is a #10 can, packed 6 to a case. Each #10 can is 3 quarts.

Fairly few households are interested in buying canned tomatoes 18 quarts at a time.
