Scanned 5 times by Nomi users

Yes — Ginger kombocha is ultra-processed.

The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial additives: natural flavouring (a formulated flavour additive) and steviol glycosides (an extracted high-intensity sweetener). Other ingredients like kombucha, botanical extracts, and B vitamins do not make it UPF, but the presence of these two additives is sufficient for a UPF classification under NOVA-style criteria.
