Three WFP personnel were killed when their office in Yabus, Blue Nile State was hit by airstrikes on Thursday, the agency confirmed on social media, and said they are gathering more information, Xinhua news agency reported.
In a statement, Guterres sent his deepest condolences to the families of the victims and their colleagues.
The UN chief condemned all attacks on the UN and aid personnel and facilities, and called for a thorough investigation.
"Yesterday's incident underscores the devastating toll that Sudan's brutal conflict is having on millions of people in need and the humanitarians trying to reach them with life-saving assistance," he said.
Guterres called on the parties to adhere to their obligations to protect civilians, including aid personnel, as well as humanitarian premises and supplies.
The UN chief once again urged the need for an immediate ceasefire in Sudan after more than 20 months of conflict.
