a year ago

United Natural Foods (UNFI) experienced a cyberattack, disrupting its order fulfillment and distribution.
The cyberattack was detected last Thursday, leading to partial network shutdowns and operational disruptions.
UNFI is implementing workarounds to continue servicing customers but faces ongoing business disruptions.
As a major grocery distributor, UNFI supplies over 30,000 stores in the U.S. and Canada, including Whole Foods.
UNFI and Whole Foods recently extended their distribution contract until May 2032.
UNFI has not disclosed the nature of the cyberattack or whether a ransom was demanded.
The incident has been reported to law enforcement, and system restoration efforts are underway.
This cyberattack is part of a recent trend targeting the retail and grocery supply chain.
UNFI has not provided a timeline for full system recovery.
