Danone, a French multinational food-products corporation, agreed to acquire Lifeway Foods, a kefir and fermented probiotic products supplier, for $283m. "In recognizing the solid performance of the Company over the last few years, we believe Lifeway has an attractive opportunity to achieve its full potential through a combination with Danone, removing the constraints and additional resources required for a publicly listed company of Lifeway’s size.
