What You Should Know

You'd find this chilled bottle in the refrigerated dairy aisle next to yogurts and drinkable probiotic beverages — a grab-and-go pick for breakfast, a post-workout snack, or a kid-friendly lunchbox treat. It reads as wholesome and slightly indulgent: creamy, fruity kefir with added sweetness; the inclusion of cane sugar, water, natural flavors and fruit/vegetable concentrates suggests a smooth, standardized texture and industrial processing typical of ultraprocessed products.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Added cane sugar, water, natural flavors and juice concentrates are industrial ingredients and additives that, together with extensive processing to create a stable, uniform drink, align this product with NOVA category 4 (ultraprocessed). The presence of live cultures does not offset the formulation and additives that characterize ultraprocessed foods.
