A supplier for supermarkets like Tesco, Sainsbury's and Aldi has been hit by a cyber attack.
This comes after a raft of similar but separate attacks on other brands like M&S.
Discussing the incident, Peter Green Chilled said it will be issuing "regular updates" to clients while it resolves the problem.
Tesco, Aldi and Sainsbury's supplier hit by major cyber attack
To help continue its deliveries and prevent the loss of this stock, the brand is now looking at "workarounds".
The supplier was struck by a cyber attack via an email that was sent on Thursday.
Managing director, Tom Binks, also issued an update.
According to The Sun, he said: "The transport activities of the business have continued unaffected throughout this incident."
This attack, affecting the Somerset-based firm, involves hackers encrypting a user's data and locking them out of their computer systems.

The attackers then usually demand that money be sent to them in order for the important information to be released.
This comes just weeks after M&S was hit by a similar cyber attack, something that reportedly cost the company some £40 million every week since the incident first took place.
Despite this, the retailer confirmed that "availability is now in a much more normal place with stores well stocked this weekend".
