Summary
This kombucha contains beneficial ingredients like water kefir and guava puree, which provide probiotics and vitamins. However, it is classified as ultra-processed due to the presence of erythritol and stevia, which are added sweeteners. Despite its healthful components, the processing level limits its score, and the use of erythritol, although not harmful, contributes to its processed nature.
