Kombucha Update #2 - Helpful Hints For Living Well

The government is requiring all Kombucha sold in the United States to comply with alcohol labeling standards before distribution can proceed. The major producer of Kombucha in the United States is Millennium Products. They produce the well known GT’S brand.

Here is a portion of an update letter that was just released to retailers:

We are in the process of establishing label compliance for all our products currently in distribution and will be releasing an update soon. In addition, we plan to release a new production of 100% compliant product over the next few weeks.

This is the government labeling that will be added to Kombucha labels:

GOVERNMENT WARNING: (1) According to the Surgeon general, women should not drink alcoholic beverages during pregnancy because of the risk of birth defects. (2) Consumption of alcoholic beverages impairs your ability to drive a car or operate machinery, and may cause health problems.

It seems that this labeling issue will be resolved in the next few weeks. I hope so!
