Canadian Fairlife production continues as U.S. operations halted

The Coca-Cola Company disclosed Thursday that a ransomware attack on its Fairlife dairy subsidiary has halted U.S. production of the brand’s milk products. Coca-Cola said an unauthorized third party gained access to some of Fairlife’s systems, including those related to production. The company said the quality and safety of Fairlife products have not been impacted by the attack. Fairlife’s Canadian production operations were unaffected and continued to run, the company said.

“The company is working diligently to complete the investigation and restore the systems and impacted operations,” Coca-Cola said in a statement. “The full scope, nature and impacts of the incident are not yet known.”

The company said it had notified law enforcement. The entity that perpetrated the attack has not been publicly named.
