Coca-Cola's Fairlife dairy subsidiary halted US production after a ransomware attack disrupted manufacturing systems; the attacker remains unidentified and it is unclear whether data was stolen.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Foodtech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you supply ingredients, packaging or logistics to Fairlife or other large dairy/beverage manufacturers, your customer's production is offline and they will be scrambling to source alternatives or accelerate fulfilment elsewhere—now is the time to call with spare capacity or expedited terms. Ransomware is reshaping which suppliers get called first in a crisis: resilient, geographically distributed operations just won a contract advantage.
