Morrisons’ customers in Gedling borough have been complaining on social media after being surprised with empty shelves in the store’s fruit, vegetable and meat sections this week following a hacker attack on warehouses.
The supermarket giant has a store on Victoria Retail Park in Netherfield and regular shoppers said there was very little on offer.
Ali Limb posted: “It’s like Covid all over again. Nothing in Morrisons. Off to Sainsbury’s I go then.”
Louise Simpkin wrote: “Not much in Morrisons Netherfield, folks. Very little or no bread, meat or veg. Might be worth going elesewhere.
According to reports, the shortages are a result of hackers hitting a software system the retailer uses to manage its supply chain.
Morrisons confirmed the attack on the third-party company Blue Yonder, which impacted warehouse supply chains and caused shortages of fresh fruit, vegetables and meat in its stores.
A company spokesperson said: “Last week Blue Yonder suffered an outage, which has impacted our warehouse management systems for fresh and produce.
“Ambient and frozen are unaffected. We are currently operating on our backup systems and we’re working very hard to deliver for our customers across the country.”
