July 16 (Reuters) - The Coca-Cola Company said on Thursday that fairlife, LLC, a dairy company it owns, temporarily suspended production operations in the U.S. after unauthorized access to parts of its systems, including production-related systems, by a third party.
Fairlife, a Chicago-based dairy company wholly owned by Coca-Cola, has launched an investigation with the help of external cybersecurity experts and advisers.
Coca-Cola said product quality and safety have not been affected by the incident.
However, production operations at fairlife's facilities in the United States have been temporarily suspended while the company works to restore affected systems and operations.
Its production facilities in Canada remain operational.
The company said it activated its incident response and business continuity protocols after detecting the breach and has notified law enforcement authorities.
