AMSTERDAM, Oct 13 (Reuters) - ‌Dutch ​supermarket ​company Ahold Delhaize has no indication that client data has ‌been stolen in the cybersecurity incident that ⁠forced it to shut down several systems ‌in recent days, it ‌said in a statement on Tuesday.

The Dutch retailer, which operates the Netherlands' ​largest supermarket chain Albert Heijn and has major operations in other ⁠European countries as well as the United States, said ​on Monday that it was dealing with a "security issue" on its ​network and had taken ‌several systems offline as a precaution.

The incident coincided with a ⁠cyberattack in France which saw refrigerators and freezers at hundreds of stores heating up ⁠to 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit) overnight, sparking ​fires and spoiling food.

The Dutch National Cyber Security Centre has said that there is no ‌reason to believe that there is a link between the ‌incident in the Netherlands and similar ⁠incidents in other ‌countries.
