Coca-Cola Says Fairlife Ransomware Attack Halts US Dairy Production
Coca-Cola said fairlife’s product quality was not affected, and Canada operations remain open while the company restores systems.
- On Thursday, The Coca-Cola Company announced its subsidiary, Fairlife, LLC, temporarily suspended production in the United States after unauthorized third-party access to production-related systems.
- Coca-Cola acquired the Chicago-based dairy company in 2020 to operate as a standalone business; Fairlife represents one of the company's major brands with an estimated $4 billion in sales by 2024.
- Product quality and safety have not been affected, while Fairlife's production operations in Canada remain operational and the company investigates with external cybersecurity experts.
- The company activated incident response and business continuity protocols and notified law enforcement, though it has not determined when systems will be restored or the potential financial impact.
- Past ransomware incidents at Arizona Beverages in 2019 and UNFI last year resulted in weeks-long disruptions, demonstrating that food and beverage companies face lasting effects from such attacks.
