Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 0.16 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 13 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 0.16 g per 100 ml and no protein source is identified, so it earns no credit. No fibre is declared, and the panel lists no vitamins or minerals.
Energy is low at 13.04 kcal per 100 ml, but a drink earns nutrition points for what it contains, not for what it leaves out. The grade stays at the bottom.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why A
The list is short and plain: water, ginger, the ginger bug culture, turmeric roots, unrefined sugar and kaffir lime. No additives, colours, sweeteners, preservatives or hydrogenated fat are listed, so nothing costs ingredient points on that side.
A small label point is lost because kaffir lime is emphasised in the name but no percentage is declared. That is the only deduction, and the grade stays an A.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Low risk
- Total sugar
- 2.9 g
- Sodium
- 4 mg
03 Load risk: why 2
Sugar drives nearly all of the risk number: 2.85 g per 100 ml, all of it free sugar, which is 5.7 g in a 200 ml bottle. That is well under the cola the pack compares itself with, and it lands on a 2.
Saturated fat and trans fat are 0 g and sodium is negligible. Energy adds nothing at 13.04 kcal per 100 ml.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Odd Fellows Fermented Ginger Non-Alcoholic Beer live up to its claims?
No preservatives holds and the sugar is low, but the sugar is added, not natural. Kaffir lime has no declared share, and the probiotic claim comes with no bacteria count.
- Product namePartly true
“Original Kaffir Lime”
Kaffir lime is in the list, but it comes last and no percentage is declared. Ginger and turmeric are listed ahead of it.
- On the packBe careful
“Naturally low in Sugar”
2.85 g per 100 ml is low, and 26 kcal per bottle is light. But the sugar comes from added organic unrefined sugar, not from the ginger or lime.
- On the packBe careful
“Rich in Probiotics”
A live ginger bug culture is listed, but the label gives no bacteria count or strain. The gut and immune statements on the pack are not backed by any figure.
- On the packHolds
“Zero Preservatives”
No preservative or other additive appears in the ingredient list.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Sugar 2.79 g per 100 g”
The retailer page shows 2.79 g sugar per 100 g, the pack shows 2.85 g per 100 ml. The gap is small, and the pack figure per 100 ml is the one used.

Ingredients to watch
- No protein, fibre or mineralsConcern
0.16 g protein per 100 ml, no fibre and no declared vitamins or minerals. This is why nutrition sits at the bottom grade.
- Free sugarWorth watching
2.85 g per 100 ml, 5.7 g in a 200 ml bottle, all from added unrefined sugar. It is the main driver of the risk number.
- Possible traces of alcoholWorth watching
The pack says naturally fermented foods may carry traces of alcohol and it is best avoided in pregnancy, although it also states it contains no alcohol.
- Live cultureWorth watching
A ginger bug culture is listed, but no count of live bacteria is given, so the probiotic claim cannot be checked.
- Short, additive-free listFine
Six ingredients, no preservatives, colours, sweeteners or hydrogenated fat, and 13.04 kcal per 100 ml.
What it doesn’t have
- No percentages are given for the ginger, turmeric or kaffir lime.
- No vitamins, minerals or live-bacteria count are declared.
What to know about Odd Fellows Fermented Ginger Non-Alcoholic Beer
A light ginger fizz with nothing to add nutritionally
A 200 ml bottle of fermented ginger drink, sold as a non-alcoholic ginger beer. The list is short: water, ginger, ginger bug culture (the live starter), turmeric roots, organic unrefined sugar and kaffir lime. No percentages are declared for any of them. It is bought as a spicy, fizzy, lower-sugar alternative to a regular soft drink.
Per 100 ml it has 13.04 kcal, 3.1 g carbohydrate, 2.85 g sugar and 0.16 g protein, with no fat. One 200 ml bottle comes to about 26 kcal and 5.7 g sugar. The pack sets this against a regular cola at 42 kcal and 10.6 g sugar per 100 ml, a comparison figure it takes from a cola's label.
The pack gets the basics right: no preservatives are listed and the sugar is modest. It is vaguer on the rest. Kaffir lime is in the name but sits last in the list with no percentage, and the probiotic and gut claims come with no count of live bacteria. CleanPlate scores it EA2.
