United Natural Foods (UNFI) provided an update to regulators at the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday afternoon, writing that the June 5 cyberattack forced the company to take systems offline that manage fulfillment and distribution of customer orders. But the incident — which has spawned eerie local news images of empty grocery store shelves — is likely to have an effect on the company’s income for the final quarter of its fiscal year, which ends in August. “Importantly, the Company has safely restored the core systems that its customers and suppliers use for electronic ordering and invoicing, which has enabled business operations to normalize,” the company said in the filing. UNFI is the main supplier for Whole Foods and is considered the largest health and specialty food distributor in the United States and Canada. The biggest supplier to Whole Foods said it has restored systems that were brought down by a cyberattack earlier this month. UNFI is now able to regularly receive and ship products to retailers across North America after weeks of delays left certain stores missing key items. Local news outlets reported that grocery stores were using paper and pen to track deliveries.
