JBS, the world’s largest meat supplier, said late Tuesday its systems are coming back online after a massive cyberattack that shut down some of its U.S. and Australian operations this week.

In its statement, it said it was making progress at resolving the cyberattack and the “vast majority” of its plants would be operational Wednesday. Several of its pork, poultry and prepared-food plants were working Tuesday, and its beef plant in Canada had started operating again.
