What You Should Know

You'd find this in the refrigerated functional beverages or natural drinks section — often grabbed at checkout or picked up for a light, healthy refreshment after a class or workout. It gives a tangy, apple-forward, wellness vibe: modern, mildly nostalgic (think cider-y apple) and marketed as probiotic and wholesome. The ingredient list is short — fermented kombucha and cold-pressed apple juice with a named probiotic strain — which suggests traditional fermentation and minimal flavor additives, though commercial canning and added sugars place it in the realm of processed packaged beverages.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from fermented kombucha and cold-pressed apple juice with live cultures and a short ingredient list, it's a processed packaged beverage rather than an unprocessed food; commercial canning and formulation for shelf/stability support a NOVA 3 classification rather than ultraprocessed NOVA 4.

It really depends on what you mean by 'healthy'! This kombucha is low in calories and made from organic ingredients, which is a great start. However, it does have 12 grams of sugar per can, so if you're watching your sugar intake, you might want to enjoy it in moderation.
