Lifeway Foods is an American health food company founded in 1986 by Michael Smolyansky.
==History==
Lifeway Foods was founded by Smolyansky, a Ukrainian Jewish immigrant who arrived to the United States from Kyiv, which at the time, was still under the Soviet Union.https://www.rferl.org/a/kefir-ukraine-chicago-lifeway-empire-probiotic/26914148.html During a trip to West Germany, he and his wife, Ludmila Smolyansky, realized the kefir sold at a tradeshow was unavailable in the United States and decided to start producing it.
The company opened their first plant in 1989 in Skokie, Illinois. The company grew further by upgrading its expansion and distribution.
In 1990, Lifeway acquired Johanna Farms, Inc., a yogurt company based in New Jersey.https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1994-05-04-9405040194-story.html
