Coca-Cola's fairlife dairy subsidiary suffered a ransomware attack on July 16, 2026, that compromised systems involved in production and operations. The company responded by suspending US operations whilst Canadian facilities continued running, and engaged external cybersecurity specialists to address the breach. Coca-Cola stated that product safety and quality remained unaffected and that authorities had been notified.

The full scope and impact of the incident remain uncertain as the investigation continues. With fairlife generating $4 billion in annual revenue, any prolonged recovery period could result in reduced availability of the company's dairy products in retail markets. Ransomware attacks of this scale typically involve substantial financial demands, and how quickly the subsidiary restores operations will determine whether consumers experience significant supply shortages.
