Why is this kombucha classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The drink undergoes fermentation, carbonation and the addition of flavour enhancers and sweeteners, which places it in the NOVA 4 ultra‑processed category; its listed additives are erythritol (E968) as a flavour enhancer, steviol glycosides (E960) as a sweetener, and several natural fruit flavourings.

It contains 0 g of added sugars and only 0.01 g of salt per 100 ml, making it low in both glucose‑raising carbohydrates and sodium, while the non‑nutritive sweeteners used do not raise blood sugar levels for most people, though individual tolerance should be considered.
