Overview
- Coca‑Cola disclosed that its Fairlife dairy unit suffered unauthorized access that affected production systems and led the company to temporarily suspend U.S. manufacturing.
- The company activated incident response and business continuity plans, engaged external cybersecurity advisors, and notified law enforcement and regulators.
- Investigators are still determining which systems or data were compromised and Coca‑Cola has not said whether any information was stolen or a ransom was demanded.
- Coca‑Cola said product quality and safety were not affected and that Fairlife facilities in Canada are continuing to operate normally.
- Fairlife is a large Coca‑Cola brand and the company warned investors that the scope and financial impact remain uncertain, a risk that echoes a broader rise in ransomware attacks on food and manufacturing supply chains.
