Common questions

Is Plain kefir healthy?

Plain kefir scores 85/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Plain kefir?

Plain kefir lists 6 ingredients, starting with Pasteurized Low Fat Milk, Vitamin D3, Cultures, Non Fat Milk and Pectin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

No. Nothing in Plain kefir’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".
