Whole Foods and other U.S. grocers are experiencing partial stocking due to a recent cyber attack on major food distributor. United Natural Foods confirmed systems were taken offline after unauthorized activity. The company is only supplying customers on a limited basis during the crisis. The FBI is involved in investigating the situation.

CEO Sandy Douglas stated the company is partnering with customers in various short-term ways to meet their needs. Social media users report empty shelves at some Whole Foods locations. The company is working to restock shelves quickly and apologizes for any inconvenience caused. United Natural Foods is focused on bolstering defenses and examining technology failures.

Douglas denied any delay in informing investors about the cyber attack. The company noticed unauthorized activity on June 5, leading to a system lockdown on June 6. A Form 8-K was filed with the SEC on June 9. Douglas emphasized the company’s priority is serving customers during this challenging time. Customers may have been impacted by the shutdown, but the details remain unclear.
