Why is Kombucha citron & gingembre classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is labeled NOVA 4 because it undergoes industrial fermentation, addition of refined cane sugar, and carbonation; the only listed additive is carbon dioxide (E290) used to give the drink its fizz.

How does the sugar and salt content in this kombucha affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 4.6 g of sugar per 100 ml, the drink provides a moderate carbohydrate load that can raise blood glucose, so diabetics should limit intake; the very low salt (0.01 g per 100 ml) is negligible for blood‑pressure concerns.

Based on its ingredients, is Kombucha citron & gingembre suitable for strict diets like vegan, keto, halal, or gluten‑free?

The formula is vegan, gluten‑free and certified organic, making it compatible with those diets; however, its sugar content and total carbohydrate level (4.6 g per 100 ml) are too high for a keto regimen, and halal status is not indicated.
