What You Should Know

You'd find this in the refrigerated dairy or grab-and-go aisle as a four-pack of single-serve kefir—the kind people grab for breakfast, a lunchbox, or a post-workout drink. It reads as wholesome and convenient with probiotic appeal, but the flavored low-fat, sweetened and industrially formulated format (consistent texture, added sweeteners/flavors, packaged single-serve) signals processing beyond a simple fermented milk.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Classified as NOVA 4 because the product is a flavored, sweetened, low-fat packaged kefir with industrial formulation and single-serve packaging; these features (added sugars/flavoring and reformulation for texture/stability) are hallmarks of ultra-processed foods despite the presence of live cultures.
