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. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

◆ The Wire takeaway

A ransomware attack that shuttered major dairy production now demonstrates a critical gap: food processors have zero redundancy. If you build supply chain visibility, backup manufacturing coordination, or rapid incident response for food producers, you've just seen your market prove itself in real time.
