Coca-Cola's dairy subsidiary fairlife was hit by a ransomware attack, prompting the company to suspend its operations in the United States. In its SEC filing, Coca-Cola said that on July 16, 2026, it discovered that a third party gained unauthorized entry to part of fairlife's systems, including ones related to production.

The company said it was "in connection with a ransomware event," but didn't reveal specific details. The incident is still under investigation. Coca-Cola secured external cybersecurity experts and notified authorities. Product quality and safety aren't impacted, and fairlife's production in Canada remains operational.

"The full scope, nature and impacts of the incident are not yet known," the filing reads. "Accordingly, [Coca-Cola] has not yet determined whether the incident is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company." As Tech Crunch notes, fairlife posted $4 billion in sales in 2024, suggesting attackers could demand a hefty ransom.

fairlife's production will likely remain suspended as it fixes the problem. If it takes time, you could see fewer dairy products from the Coca-Cola subsidiary in grocery stores.
