Kombucha, ginger beer, kvass and kefir are fermented drinks.
Kombucha, ginger beer, kvass and kefir drinks can contain residual alcohol from the fermentation process used in their manufacture.
A nationally coordinated survey by Food Regulators found that many fermented drink products such as kombucha, ginger beer, kvass and kefir contained alcohol.
Some products tested had an alcohol content greater than 1.15% ABV or an alcohol content greater than that shown on their label.
For the kombucha samples tested, around 65% had more than 0.5% alcohol, and for water-based kefir samples tested 74% had more than 0.5% alcohol.
The dairy-based kefir samples tested all had less than 0.5% alcohol.
For samples of ginger beer and kvass tested, around 31% had more than 0.5% alcohol.
