Kombucha, ginger beer, kvass and kefir drinks can contain residual alcohol from the fermentation process used in their manufacture. The health impact of drinking any amount of alcohol depends on the amount consumed and other factors. A person would need to drink more than four 350mL bottles of a drink which had 1.15% ABV, in order to consume one standard drink. Not drinking alcohol is the safest option for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and for those under 18 years of age. The National Health and Medical Research Council advises that healthy men and women should drink no more than two standard drinks on any day.

Fermenting corn and coconut-based products has risk of bacterial contamination that results in the production of Bongkrekic acid.
This acid is a toxin that is harmful to our liver, brain and kidneys and in severe cases, can be life threatening.
You might fall ill from consuming them.
Thus, you should exercise caution during preparation and ensure that the food preparation area is free from allergens.
Avoid these products if you have known allergies and seek immediate medical attention if you encounter a severe allergic reaction.
Monitor and control the acidity during fermentation as the production of acid aids in creating a hostile environment for harmful microorganisms.

No, fermented juice is NOT safe to drink.
Your spontaneously fermented apple juice is not the same as cider, and is not safe to drink.
Drinking spontaneously fermented beverages can make you sick.
When juice ferments spontaneously, often it is due to contamination with bad bacteria.
It could be tainted with harmful bacteria such as E. coli or salmonella and make you very sick.
Spontaneously fermented drinks are not created under any kind of controls.

Yes, It’s Safe to Drink: Over-fermented kombucha is safe to consume as long as it hasn’t been contaminated by Mold or other harmful pathogens.
The acidic environment of kombucha, especially when over-fermented, makes it inhospitable to most harmful bacteria.
However, the high acidity can be harsh on your stomach and teeth.
Drinking too much over-fermented kombucha may cause discomfort or lead to erosion of tooth enamel over time.
