United Natural Foods, Inc., Providence, RI, BB #:158953 said its ordering and invoicing system is back running after a cyberattack disrupted its operations, including distribution of fresh produce, in early June.

UNFI released the following media statement on June 26, 2025: 

“We have safely restored the core systems our retail customers and suppliers use to do business with us, and the incident has been contained. With our electronic ordering and invoicing systems back online, we are delivering products to grocery stores across our network at more normalized levels. We are grateful to all our customers and suppliers for their patience and partnership as our UNFI associates continue working to support their needs. 

“For additional information, please view our 8-K.”  

One supplier told Blue Book that her company was unable to access UNFI’s ePass system for three weeks, but UNFI informed them on June 27 that it was running again. 

She said UNFI is behind on posting payments but up to date on taking deductions for infractions. 

Editor’s note: An earlier version of this story had more details about the supplier who wishes to remain anonymous.
