Shelves shortages amid Co-op cybersecurity incident

Co-op is experiencing shelf shortages amid a cybersecurity incident reported last week.

A statement from Federated Co-operatives Limited, the main supplier to the Co-op food stores, said the incident had impacted some internal customer-facing systems, which could impact the company’s stock levels of certain food products.

One of those places is the Co-op grocery store in Warman. On Tuesday afternoon, the shelves in the produce and frozen food aisles were empty.

“We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience while we work to get inventory back to normal,” said the sign in the store’s produce section.
