What You Should Know

You’d grab this tall bottle from the refrigerated dairy aisle next to yogurts and drinkable yogurts—perfect for a morning smoothie, a tangy breakfast sip, or a probiotic boost after a workout. It gives off a wholesome, health-forward vibe: simple, slightly tart, and reassuringly “natural,” but the smooth, stable texture and added vitamin D hint at some industrial finishing. The presence of a stabilizer (pectin), pasteurization, and nutrient fortification suggests modest industrial processing rather than a purely homemade ferment.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Main ingredients are milk and cultures (minimal processing), but inclusion of pectin as a texturizer, pasteurization, and vitamin D fortification reflect industrial processing and added non-basic ingredients, placing it in NOVA group 3 (processed) rather than purely whole or fully ultraprocessed.
