Organic Ginger Spice Kombucha — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Organic Ginger Spice Kombucha by Health-Ade TREAT — score 45/90.

A clean, all-organic fermented tea, but it's still a sugar-sweetened drink at heart. Simple ingredients earn it a TREAT, not a health drink.

Why this verdict

• Added sugar (organic evaporated cane juice) drives ~13g sugar per serving
• Ingredients are clean and recognizable, but it's still a sweetened drink
• Live cultures are genuine but don't offset the sugar load
• Short, all-organic list keeps it out of engineered/junk territory

Ingredients (9)

• Filtered Water (safe) — Base liquid, inert.
• Kombucha culture (yeast and bacteria) (safe) — The SCOBY that ferments the tea, source of live cultures and organic acids.
