Ajc • July 17, 2026

Coca-Cola has shut down U.S. production for its dairy brand Fairlife after it was hit by a ransomware attack, the company announced Thursday.

The company said in a statement that it had “identified unauthorized access by a third party to a portion of its systems, including its production-related systems,” and as a result, production in the U.S. is temporarily suspended. However, its operations in Canada have not been impacted.

“The full scope, nature and impacts of the incident are not yet known,” Coca-Cola said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing. “Accordingly, the Company has not yet determined whether the incident is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company.”
