Farmer Cheese is also lactose intolerance-friendly, gluten-free, and naturally low in sodium with no added salt

or sugar, making it a satisfying and nutritious way to elevate everyday meals, from toast and sandwiches to

smoothies and desserts.

This year marks the second time Lifeway Farmer Cheese has been named a winner in Good Housekeeping’s

Snack Awards, reinforcing the product’s growing popularity among consumers as demand continues to rise for

protein-rich, gut-friendly foods. The recognition follows a milestone year for the brand, including its recent

expansion of Farmer Cheese into 2,000 Walmart locations nationwide, further increasing access for shoppers

across the country.

Lifeway Foods Farmer Cheese is available at grocers nationwide. The creamy, blended consistency makes it

the perfect texture for a wide variety of sweet and savory dishes, and it frequently appears as a key ingredient
