I have just received an email from the Loblaw company. I posted previously that someone from Canada informed me that Loblaw had just started carrying Lifeway's kefir. The following is a copy of the email I received:

Dear Mark:

Our apologies for the delay.

Regarding Kefir products, Loblaws is listed to carry Kefir yogurt drink.
The majority of our stores will carry this product, however shelf
constraints may limit some of our smaller stores from carry the entire
line of yogurt drinks.ÿ

There are approximately 70 Loblaws stores in Ontario.ÿ We do have other
"banner" stores in Ontario and across Canada.ÿ Please feel free to

In my email to Loblaw I mentioned Lifeway Foods many times. In the reply they didn't mention Lifeway Foods once. Being the stickler for accuracy that I am, I have just sent another email to Sally asking her to confirm that the kefir she talked about is Lifeway Food's. The email I received from the Canadian previously stated that it was Lifeway's but I just want to hear it from someone at Loblaw's.

The email stated that a majority of their stores will be carrying kefir. I don't know if she meant a majority of the 70 Loblaw stores just in Ontario, all of the Loblaw stores in all of Canada, or all of the stores in their "banner" stores in just Ontario or all of Canada. The least amount of stores according to this info would be more than 35 Loblaw supermarkets in Ontario. If she meant a majority of all the Loblaw stores and "banner" stores in all of Canada, Oh my.........

In the email I just sent back to her I asked her to clarify this. I will post the reply as soon as I receive it.
