Why Tetley Kombucha Fermented Sparkling Drink scores EB2

How we score →

01 Nutrition densityA to E

Very low nutrient density

Protein: 0 g
Fibre: Not declared
Vitamins and minerals: None declared
Energy: 25 kcal

01 Nutrition density: why E

The drink has no protein, no fat and no fibre, and sugar is 6.3 g per 100 ml, so nothing earns credit. Energy is only 25 kcal per 100 ml, but the calories come almost wholly from sugar.

No vitamins or minerals are declared, so the grade has nothing to build on. The label does call it Rich in Antioxidant, but no figure is printed to score.

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 integrityA to E

Good, few concerning additives

Base: Kombucha Base
Sweeteners: Kombucha Base
Additives: 0
Flagged: None

02 Ingredient integrity: why B

The list is short and mostly plain: water, refined sugar, black tea, pink salt, kombucha culture, lemon juice concentrate, natural flavouring substance, a live culture and carbon dioxide. No preservative, colour or sweetener is listed, and the pack says no artificial flavours.

The natural flavouring substance costs ingredient points, as it hides what the peach taste comes from. No percentages are given for the ingredients except the live culture at 0.04%, which costs a small label point. No hollow promise is found.

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk1 to 5

Low risk

Added sugar: 5.8 g
Sodium: 5.6 mg

03 Load risk: why 2

Sugar is nearly the whole of the risk number: 5.8 g added sugar per 100 ml, 15.4 g in the 265 ml bottle. That is what places risk at 2.

Saturated fat and trans fat are 0 g and sodium is 5.6 mg per 100 ml, so they add almost nothing. Energy at 25 kcal per 100 ml adds nothing on its own.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Red flags

Red flag: High added sugar (5.8g per 100ml)

Does Tetley Kombucha Fermented Sparkling Drink live up to its claims?

The live culture and the no-preservative claims hold, and the peach is flavour only. The antioxidant and keeps-you-fit lines come with no figures, and the retailer page's prebiotic claim is not on the pack.

Product name
“Peach Flavour”
Partly true
No peach or other fruit is listed. The taste comes from natural flavouring substance, and the name says flavour, which is honest.
On the pack
“With Live Culture”
Holds
A live culture (Bacillus subtilis) is listed at 0.04%. The pack gives no count of live organisms.
On the pack
“No artificial flavours and added preservatives”
Holds
The list has natural flavouring substance only and no preservative. Carbon dioxide and lemon juice concentrate are the only other additions.
On the pack
“Rich in Antioxidant”
Be careful
Black tea is in the kombucha base, but the pack prints no antioxidant amount. The line The Kombucha that keeps you fit sits beside 15.4 g added sugar per bottle.
Retail listing
“Prebiotic fiber”
Be careful
The retailer page shows a prebiotic (polydextrose) and a preservative, but the pack shows neither. The pack lists no fibre.

What's in Tetley Kombucha Fermented Sparkling Drink?

A kombucha base with refined sugar in it leads the list, then lemon juice, natural flavouring and a live culture at 0.04%. The added sugar is what to watch.

How we rate additives →

9 ingredients listed. None of them is an additive or watched ingredient in our research.

The ingredient list, read for you

The kombucha base leads: water, refined sugar, black tea, pink salt and kombucha culture. The refined sugar is what sweetens the drink, and the culture and tea give it the fermented-tea character. Lemon juice concentrate adds tang, natural flavouring substance gives the peach taste, and carbon dioxide makes it fizzy.

A live culture (Bacillus subtilis) is added at 0.04%. No other ingredient has a declared percentage, so the share of tea against sugar is not known.

Ingredients to watch

Added sugarConcern
5.8 g per 100 ml, so 15.4 g in a 265 ml bottle, which the pack prints as 30.7% of the daily value. It is the main driver of the risk grade.
Natural flavouring substanceWorth watching
It gives the peach taste and costs ingredient points, because the label does not say what it is made from. There is no fruit in the list.
No protein, fibre or mineralsWorth watching
None are declared, so the drink gives calories from sugar and little else.
No preservative or artificial flavourFine
None is listed, and the pack says so.
Sodium and fatFine
5.6 mg sodium per 100 ml, about 15 mg a bottle, and 0 g fat.

What it doesn’t have

No protein, fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.
The list gives no percentages for the tea, sugar or lemon juice.
