@drjessicaknurick: If you have heard to avoid kombucha in pregnancy, it’s likely due to 1 of 3 reasons: caffeine, alcohol, and bacteria risk. With Caffeine - most commercial brands have about 15mg per serving - so I certainly wouldn’t worry about this. For alcohol - Commercially produced kombucha must contain less than 0.5% alcohol in order to be sold as a non-alcoholic beverage. This is about the same amount of alcohol as what’s in overripe bananas and pears. So I wouldn’t be concerned about it. And for bacteria, most commercial kombucha manufacturers adhere to strict safety practices and I couldn’t find any evidence of food poisoning from commercial kombucha. So, it appears to he a relatively low risk (not no risk, as nothing is no risk) option in pregnancy. #pregnancytiktok #pregnancy #prenataldietitian #pregnancynutrition #kombuchainpregnancy

When I worked at Whole Foods in 2014, we sold the slightly alcoholic kind of kombucha and I had soooo many customers get pissy bc I had to ID them for it.

I feel like this is a dumb question but I’ve seen mixed things, any issues with vanilla extract (like in ice cream) due to it being an alcohol base?

For a second I thought you were saying that YOU just found out you were pregnant and were just being really nonchalant about it.

I drank just the commercial ones while pregnant - my midwives told me not to make my own (I don't even know how to do that)

don't they end up exceeding 0.5% on the shelves as fermentation continues after being bottled?
