What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the refrigerated dairy aisle or reach for it at breakfast, in smoothies, or after a workout as a tangy, probiotic boost. It gives a wholesome, slightly nostalgic fermented-milk vibe but with a modern, functional-food presentation. The short ingredient list (pasteurized milk, cultures) plus added pectin for texture and vitamin D3 fortification indicates measurable industrial processing—more processed than a homemade kefir but not heavily reformulated.
