Danone is attempting to acquire Lifeway Foods, the US-based kefir maker in which the French giant holds a minority stake.
The Alpro and Activia brands owner is a long-time shareholder in Lifeway, currently holding a 23.4% stake in the business, but it has now made an official bid to take full control.
The bid was confirmed in a filing to the US regulator, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) from Lifeway yesterday (23 September).
