Published · Updated
Toyo Kombucha Strawberry Cream Zero Sugar is a lightly sweetened fermented tea drink flavoured to taste like strawberry and cream.

What to know about Toyo Kombucha Strawberry Cream Zero Sugar Kombucha
A zero-sugar kombucha with no cream in it
Toyo Kombucha Strawberry Cream Zero Sugar is a 200 ml bottled kombucha made from filtered water, kombucha culture, black tea and green tea. It is sweetened with erythritol, monkfruit extract and stevia glycosides, with prebiotic fibre and strawberry juice concentrate added for body and taste. No percentages are declared. It is bought by people who want a fizzy, fruity drink without the sugar of a soft drink.
What you get is very little energy: 4 kcal per 100 ml, so 8 kcal in the bottle, with 0.23 g protein per 100 ml and no sugar on the panel. Sodium is 21.66 mg per 100 ml, about 43 mg per bottle, helped by a pinch of Himalayan pink salt. There are no vitamins or minerals declared, so the drink adds hydration and flavour, not nutrition.
The front says zero sugar and the name says strawberry cream. Strawberry juice concentrate is a free-sugar ingredient, and cream is nowhere in the list. The pack also says it contains natural and nature-identical flavours. CleanPlate scores it [L]EC1.
Does Toyo Kombucha Strawberry Cream Zero Sugar Kombucha live up to its claims?
The cream in the name is not in the list, and zero sugar sits beside strawberry juice concentrate, so both are misleading. The retailer page also leaves out two ingredients that the pack lists.
- Product nameMisleading
“Zero Sugar Strawberry Cream”
No cream appears in the ingredient list. The creamy taste is meant to come from the flavours, since the pack says it contains natural and nature-identical flavours.
- On the packMisleading
“ZERO SUGAR”
The panel shows 0 g sugar, but strawberry juice concentrate, a free-sugar ingredient, is in the list. The sweet taste otherwise comes from erythritol, monkfruit and stevia.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Zero added sugar”
The panel declares 0 g added sugar, which is true as printed. The juice concentrate is the one sugar source in the list, and its amount is not declared.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Gut-friendly fermented kombucha”
Kombucha culture and prebiotic fibre are listed, so it is fermented. The pack declares no count of live cultures and no fibre figure.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Ingredient list on the retailer page”
The retailer page leaves out strawberry juice concentrate and black carrot extract, while the pack lists both.
Why Toyo Kombucha Strawberry Cream Zero Sugar Kombucha scores [L]EC1
Nutrition is an E because the drink has 0.23 g protein per 100 ml and nothing else declared. Ingredients are a C: sweeteners cost points and the missing cream sets the [L]. Risk is a 1 on 21.66 mg sodium per 100 ml.
Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 0.23 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 4 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 0.23 g per 100 ml, which is under 0.5 g in the 200 ml bottle, and the declared energy is just 4 kcal per 100 ml. No isolated fibre earns credit and no vitamins or minerals are declared.
With nothing meaningful to count, the nutrition grade sits at the bottom. A drink this light is not built to supply nutrients.
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 C
The list is short and mostly water, tea and sweeteners. Erythritol (INS 968) and steviol glycosides (INS 960) each cost ingredient points, and the natural colour from black carrot extract costs a small amount more.
Label integrity costs the most. The name promises cream and no cream is listed, and the zero sugar claim is made while strawberry juice concentrate, a free-sugar ingredient, is in the list. Both set the [L] and cost ingredient points.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 1
Risk is the lightest grade, a 1. Declared added sugar is 0 g, saturated fat is 0 g, no trans fat is listed and energy is 4 kcal per 100 ml.
Sodium is the only number that registers, at 21.66 mg per 100 ml, about 43 mg per bottle.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

What's in Toyo Kombucha Strawberry Cream Zero Sugar Kombucha?
Water, kombucha culture, erythritol and prebiotic fibre lead the list, with strawberry juice concentrate after them. The sweeteners and the missing cream are what to watch.
The ingredient list, read for you
Filtered water and kombucha culture lead, so the base is fermented tea. Erythritol (INS 968) comes next as the main sweetener, then prebiotic fibre, then strawberry juice concentrate for fruit flavour. Black tea and green tea follow, with Himalayan pink salt, black carrot extract for colour, and monkfruit extract and stevia glycosides (INS 960) as the extra sweeteners.
No percentages are declared for any ingredient, so the share of strawberry juice concentrate is not known. Cream is not listed.
Ingredients to watch
- Cream missing from the listConcern
The name says strawberry cream, but no cream is listed. This is a hollow promise and it costs ingredient points.

4 kcal per 100 ml, 8 kcal in the 200 ml bottle, with 0 g saturated fat.
What it doesn’t have
- No cream, despite the name.
