Brand profile

• LyoFood is a Polish freeze-dried meal brand manufactured in Kielce, Poland, founded in the early 1990s after its founder began applying freeze-drying technology from his blood-donation-centre job to food, starting with freeze-dried chives. It remains family-run: his daughter, co-founder Laura Godek, was named to Forbes' 2016 30 Under 30 Europe list for the business.
• It markets its meals as made with natural ingredients and no synthetic preservatives, and says it individually tests every gluten-free batch in its own in-house lab before packing it on an isolated production line - brand claims we have not independently lab-verified.
