Barcode 5032722316614

No — Herbal Kombucha Drink is not ultra-processed.

A refreshing drink made with botanical ingredients and gentle fermentation.

This appears to be a lightly fermented herbal tea beverage made primarily from water, green tea, mate, flowers, herbs, fruit juices, kombucha culture, and a small amount of alcohol from fermentation. The ingredients do not include artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, stabilizers, thickeners, refined industrial syrups, highly processed oils, or natural/artificial flavoring additives. The natural herbal extract and juices are not, by themselves, sufficient to classify the drink as ultra-processed.

Common questions about Herbal Kombucha Drink

Is Herbal Kombucha Drink ultra-processed?

No — Herbal Kombucha Drink is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This appears to be a lightly fermented herbal tea beverage made primarily from water, green tea, mate, flowers, herbs, fruit juices, kombucha culture, and a small amount of alcohol from fermentation.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.

How can I check whether other foods are ultra-processed?
