BPAS AND ALUMINUM CANS

BPA is released from heating plastic. Our cans are kept cool throughout our processing right until the can meets your hand. A 2009 study by Health Canada tested 72 non-refrigerated canned beverages and found small amounts of BPA in 96 percent of those products. However, Health Canada also noted that you’d have to drink “approximately 940 warm canned drinks in one day” to get enough BPA in your body to pose a health risk. Always keep your UnderGround Brews refrigerated.

IS UNDERGROUND KOMBUCHA GLUTEN FREE?

I FOUND A WEIRD RESIDUE IN MY BUCHA…

The slimy sediment is supposed to be there. The sediment in a can of UnderGround kombucha is akin to “the mother” in raw apple cider vinegar, a culture of beneficial bacteria involved in the creation and fermentation of vinegar. In both raw ACV and kombucha, a layer of gunk is an indication that the product is indeed raw and contains live, good-for-you bacteria. In other words, it’s something that hasn’t been processed, pasteurized, or ‘un-natured’ in any way.
