Coca-Cola suspends U.S. fairlife operations after ransomware breach
Coca-Cola disclosed that its fairlife dairy subsidiary suffered a ransomware intrusion, leading to a halt of U.S. production while an investigation continues.
Coca-Cola announced that its fairlife dairy unit experienced a ransomware attack on July 16, 2026, forcing the company to suspend operations in the United States. The breach involved unauthorized access to parts of fairlife’s systems, including production-related components, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The company said it has engaged external cybersecurity specialists to address the incident and has informed law-enforcement authorities. It added that product quality and safety remain unaffected and that fairlife’s Canadian facilities continue to operate.
"The full scope, nature and impacts of the incident are not yet known," the filing stated, noting that Coca-Cola has not yet determined whether the breach is likely to have a material effect on the company.
