On or about February 1, 2026, Lusamerica Foods (“Lusamerica”) experienced a data security incident involving unauthorized access to certain files within its systems. According to the Notice of Data Event, the company promptly launched an investigation after discovering the issue and began working with external cybersecurity professionals to assess the scope and impact of the incident.
Following an extensive forensic investigation and comprehensive review of the affected data, Lusamerica confirmed on April 22, 2026, that certain files containing personal information may have been subject to unauthorized access or acquisition.
After identifying the potential impact, Lusamerica took steps to strengthen its data security environment. The company reported that it continues to evaluate and enhance its internal controls, cybersecurity practices, and employee training protocols to better protect sensitive information and reduce the likelihood of future incidents.
Founded in 1975, Lusamerica Foods supplies over 100 species of fresh and frozen seafood across the West Coast, operating major facilities in Morgan Hill, CA, Los Angeles, CA, and Fife, WA.
