Kombucha Label
Kombucha labels need the name, net contents in fl oz and mL, an ingredient list, your name and address and, unless you are exempt, Nutrition Facts per 12 fl oz (360 mL). That is the FDA label, for kombucha that stays under 0.5% alcohol at all times; at 0.5% or more it falls under TTB. Your bottle size then sets the panel: a 16 oz bottle is one serving, a 32 oz bottle needs two columns. Enter your brew and see your label in mL.

Start from a ginger lemon kombucha recipe
About a gallon of sweet tea, flavored in the bottle with fresh ginger and lemon. Your starter liquid, kombucha from the last batch, is not in the library: add it as a custom ingredient with your own values. This sample counts all the sugar that went in, before the culture eats part of it.

Kombucha label questions
12 fl oz (360 mL) for bottles that hold several servings. Bottles under 24 fl oz are one serving, the whole bottle, and bottles from 24 to 36 fl oz show both a 12 fl oz column and a bottle column.

Send a finished batch to a food lab, then enter the lab's values as a custom ingredient. We don't do lab testing, but our tool applies FDA rounding and %DV to those values and builds the panel.
