Lusamerica Foods sent a data breach notification letter to individuals whose personal information may have been affected by a security incident, with a breach date reported as 01/31/2026. The copy of the notice available to us does not describe how the incident occurred, so the attack vector remains unknown based on what has been disclosed so far. The company says it is committed to safeguarding personal information and has taken steps to review and strengthen its internal security practices following the incident.
The letter we reviewed does not include the sections that typically describe exactly who was affected or how many people received notice, and it does not state an aggregate number of impacted individuals. If you received this letter directly from Lusamerica Foods, that means your information was involved in some way, even though the version of the notice we have does not spell out which specific pieces of information were exposed.
What information was exposed?
- Specific data types were not detailed in the portion of the notice available to us.
- The letter references credit monitoring, fraud alerts, and security freezes, which are protections typically offered when sensitive identifiers like Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, or financial account information may be involved.
- If you have questions about exactly what data of yours was involved, contact Lusamerica Foods directly using the information in your letter.
Lusamerica Foods is offering a credit monitoring service to affected individuals, though the specific enrollment link, activation code, or deadline were not included in the copy of the notice we reviewed. Check your physical letter for these enrollment details, as they are often printed on a separate page or insert.
What should you do now?
- Enroll in the credit monitoring service Lusamerica Foods is offering, using the instructions included in your letter, before any stated deadline.
- Request your free credit reports from all three major bureaus at www.annualcreditreport.com or by calling 1-877-322-8228, and review them for accounts or inquiries you don’t recognize.
- Consider placing a fraud alert or security freeze on your credit files; if you already have a freeze in place, you may need to temporarily lift it to enroll in the offered monitoring service, then re-freeze afterward.
- Watch your bank and credit card statements closely for unfamiliar charges or accounts, especially if you suspect Social Security or financial information may have been involved.
- For an added layer of protection, consider signing up for a service like Aura or LifeLock, which can alert you if your information appears elsewhere.
- If you notice signs of fraud, file a police report in the city where you live and file a complaint with the FTC at www.ftc.gov/idtheft or by calling 1-877-438-4338.
