What You Should Know

You'd spot this 32 oz strawberry kefir in the refrigerated dairy aisle or grab it during a quick grocery run as an easy grab-and-go breakfast or snack. It gives a tangy, sweet, slightly indulgent smoothie-like vibe — comforting and convenient — but the smooth, uniform texture and added sweeteners/flavorings reflect industrial processing. The ingredient list (cane sugar, natural flavors, juice concentrates, added water and enzymes) and pasteurization hint at a highly processed, ultra-processed style product despite the live cultures.
