What You Should Know

You'd spot this chilled bottle in the refrigerated dairy aisle or grab it from a café cooler for a quick breakfast, snack, or lunchbox treat. It reads as a wholesome, slightly indulgent probiotic pick-me-up—strawberry-forward and smooth—but the added cane sugar, natural flavors, water and juice concentrates suggest an industrially formulated drink with a consistent, sweet texture typical of ultra-processed options.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Contains added cane sugar, natural flavors, water and juice concentrates alongside pasteurized milks and enzymes—ingredients and formulation steps characteristic of ultra-processed foods (NOVA 4). The product is industrially formulated to deliver uniform sweetness and texture rather than being a minimally processed fermented milk.
