What You Should Know

You'd find this 32 fl oz bottle in the refrigerated dairy aisle or slipping into a reusable grocery tote for weekend brunches or post-workout smoothies — a fruity, creamy kefir that feels both health-forward and a little indulgent. Its tangy, thick texture and consistent mango flavor reflect industrial culturing, homogenization and added sweetening/flavoring rather than just milk and fresh fruit, so it behaves like a flavored, factory-made dairy product (NOVA 4).

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Sweetened, flavored kefir with industrial processing (homogenization, extended shelf handling) and added ingredients beyond just milk and fruit is characteristic of ultra-processed foods; although it contains live cultures, the formulation and added sugars/flavors support a NOVA 4 classification.

Common Questions about Organic Whole Milk Mango Kefir, 32 FZ

The Mango Kefir packs a punch with 10 grams of protein per cup and a good dose of calcium, which is great for your bones. However, it does have 18 grams of sugar, mostly from natural sources, which might be a concern if you're watching your sugar intake. So, it can be a healthy choice if enjoyed in moderation, especially as part of a balanced diet!
