Coca-Cola has resumed production at Fairlife milk plants following a ransomware attack that temporarily shut down facilities. The incident highlights growing cybersecurity vulnerabilities in critical food production infrastructure.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Foodtech, and 6 sources have reported it between 19 Jul 2026 and 28 Jul 2026.
