What You Should Know

You’d spot this in the refrigerated craft-beverage or kombucha section — a fizzy, fruit-forward bottle marketed as a healthier soda alternative. It carries a nostalgic soda-shop vibe with an artisanal spin thanks to organic juices and a live probiotic. Still, ingredients like juice-from-concentrate, ‘natural flavor,’ citric acid and industrial carbonation point to a shelf-stable, industrially processed product.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Despite organic juices and a probiotic, the use of juice-from-concentrate, added acidulants, natural flavors and industrial carbonation indicates an industrially formulated, packaged beverage typical of NOVA group 4 (ultra-processed).
