The Coca-Cola Company reported on July 16, 2026, that fairlife, LLC, its owned dairy business, identified unauthorized third-party access to a portion of fairlife’s systems in connection with a ransomware event. The disclosure was made under Form 8-K Item 8.01, “Other Events,” rather than as an insider trading or securities issuance report. According to the company, the affected systems included production-related systems. After detecting the incident, Coca-Cola said it activated incident response and business continuity protocols and began an investigation with assistance from outside advisors and cybersecurity experts. The company also notified law enforcement. Coca-Cola said product quality and safety have not been impacted. However, the ransomware incident has temporarily suspended fairlife’s production operations in the United States. The company noted that fairlife’s Canadian production operations are not currently affected. The company said it is working to complete its investigation, restore systems, and resume impacted operations. At the time of the filing, Coca-Cola said the full scope, nature, and effects of the incident were not yet known, and it had not determined whether the ransomware event is reasonably likely to materially affect the company. The filing was signed on July 16, 2026, by Monica Howard Douglas, Coca-Cola’s Executive Vice President and Global General Counsel. The report does not describe any stock transaction, insider purchase or sale, securities issuance, option grant, or change in ownership; its significance lies in Coca-Cola’s public disclosure of a cybersecurity incident affecting a production-related subsidiary operation.
