The Coca-Cola Company has suspended U.S. production for its fairlife dairy subsidiary following a ransomware cyberattack.
The Coca-Cola Company has temporarily suspended all manufacturing operations for its fairlife dairy brand across the United States after a ransomware attack impacted its production systems. The beverage giant disclosed the incident in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, noting that an unauthorized third party gained access to several networks on July 16, 2026. While the digital intrusion forced a shutdown of U.S. facilities, the company confirmed that product quality and safety remain uncompromised. Operations for the brand in Canada continue to run normally. The Coca-Cola Company has engaged external cybersecurity experts and notified law enforcement to investigate the full scope and financial impact of the breach. Fairlife is a major brand for the multinational corporation, reporting an estimated $4 billion in sales for 2024. Although the company has not yet provided a specific timeline for when production will resume, the suspension may lead to temporary shortages of the dairy products in grocery stores as the brand works to restore its systems.
