Is Health-Ade Kombucha low FODMAP?

FODMAP score

62

Moderate

Health-Ade lands moderate, and flavor choice matters more here than with most kombuchas: every bottle starts from a ferment of black and green tea, organic cane sugar, and kombucha culture with variable residual fructose, then adds cold-pressed juice — and flavors like Tropical Punch layer in pineapple juice, mango puree, and raisin juice concentrate, while Pink Lady Apple leans on apple juice. Those fruit additions bring excess fructose on top of the ferment. Simpler flavors like Ginger-Lemon in a small pour are the safer end of the range.

What's inside

Kombucha ferment (tea + cane sugar + culture)Residual fructose survives fermentation in amounts that vary bottle to bottle — the baseline reason kombucha sits in the moderate zone.
Apple juice / raisin juice concentrate (some flavors)Apple juice and concentrated dried-grape sugars are concentrated excess-fructose sources stacked on top of the ferment.
Cold-pressed fruit juices (mango, pineapple, grape, by flavor)Juicing concentrates fruit sugars; mango puree in particular adds excess fructose, while citrus and ginger additions are far gentler.
Live cultures and fermentation acidsLactic, acetic, gluconic, and tartaric acids plus the cultures themselves add tang, not fermentable carbs.

📏 A 16 oz bottle is 2 servings; a half-bottle pour of a low-fruit flavor (Ginger-Lemon) is the safest way in, while full bottles of apple- or tropical-fruit flavors stack juice fructose on ferment fructose.
