Coca-Cola-owned Fairlife pauses U.S. milk production after ransomware breach
Fairlife, the dairy brand owned by Coca-Cola, has temporarily halted U.S. production following a ransomware attack that accessed its systems, though product quality and safety remain unaffected.
Coca-Cola said its Fairlife dairy unit identified unauthorized third-party access to part of its computer systems, prompting a ransomware incident that forced the company to take some operations offline. The company confirmed that product quality and safety were not compromised, but production at its U.S. facilities has been temporarily suspended. Fairlife’s Canadian operations continue unaffected, and the full impact of the breach remains unclear. Coca-Cola reported that it has notified law-enforcement agencies and is working with cybersecurity specialists to investigate and restore the affected systems. A company spokesperson indicated no further updates were available as of Friday morning.
