Temperature and Time are key--The colder it is, the longer the best by dates.

Guidelines on Storing Kombucha and Milk Kefir :

Home refrigerators operate at different temperatures and can have a wide range from 1-10 degree celsius. 

A small increase in 2 degree celsius can shorten the "best by" durations by two fold! (see below). Food safety guidelines recommend setting fridges to 2-4 degree celsius.

If storage temperatures are higher than recommended, gas build up may occur, resulting in gassy brews. Gassy brews are indicated by bottles with distended caps. 

That being said, both Kombuchas and Milk kefirs don’t typically “turn bad” when kept for a while, even if they turn fizzy or have gas buildup. The organic acids produced by our happy bacteria create a low pH environment that is unsuitable for harmful bacteria or mould when kept in closed, clean conditions. 

Simply open the bottles when very cold and with extreme care (as overflow or spraying might occur) and you're good to go! Do not shake the bottles vigorously before opening.

For Kombucha:

• Up to 5 days at room temperature 
• Up to 1 week at 8-10 degC fridge
• Up to 2 weeks in a 5-7 degC fridge
• Up to 1 month in a 2-4 degC fridge (IDEAL)

** Do not attempt to open any chia seed kombuchas when the caps are distended. Please discard. Chia seed will spray and make a mess

For Milk Kefir:

• Never leave your kefirs for more than 6 hours at room temperature - they will overflow when opened
• Up to 4 days in a 8-10 degC fridge
• Up to 1 week in a 5-7 degC fridge
• Up to 3 weeks at 2-4 degC fridge (IDEAL)
• Up to 2 months in a freezer - warm in chiller before consuming, shake gently to combine

** Do not store brews in wine chillers as the average temperature is around 12-15 degC.

*** Craft & Culture is not liable for any refunds or replacements for brews that were not stored at the recommended temperature of 2-4 degC post delivery. 

Natural Skin Care :

We create our products in small batches and use natural preservatives, for example fermentation bacteria like Lactobacillus (How cool is that?). We do not encourage the use of our products after more than 6 months after purchase. More “Use By” details are available on product containers and pages. For more FAQs on natural skincare, please visit here.

How and When to Consume:

Kombucha and Kefir can be taken at all times of the day, but we recommend in the morning on an empty stomach. Research shows that doing so renders the foods consumed later to be more bioavailable for absorption into the body. 

Do not shake the bottle vigorously before opening as contents might overflow.

If you've just recovered from flu/cold/antibiotics/bacterial infection:

-start with 1/2 bottle (250 ml) and observe for any detox reactions (diarrhea/constipation/headaches/hives etc).

-If there are no reactions, proceed with one full bottle a day

-If you experience a detox reaction, stop for the day, hydrate with water and continue with 1/2 a bottle the next day and until the detox reactions cease. Once the detox reactions lessen, proceed with one bottle a day to repopulate the gut with good bacteria and yeasts. 

Candida Die-off Effects

*Ps. Do note that information provided by Craft & Culture is not intended to treat or diagnose physical medical conditions. In the event that any adverse reactions occur, please exercise good judgement and decide if medical attention is required.

If your gut health isn’t optimal, sometimes when you first start consuming milk kefir or kombucha, you may experience the “Candida Die-Off”. This happens when you introduce probiotics into your body and yeast cells are rapidly killed, a die-off (or Herxheimer reaction) occurs and metabolic by-products are released into the body.

The Candida yeast cells release 79 different toxins when they die, including ethanol and acetaldehyde. These toxins cause allergic reactions and inflammation that lead to an array of undesirable symptoms.

Die-Off symptoms will vary from person to person, as each will have different degrees of infestation. If you are having severe Die-Off symptoms, reduce your dosage of probiotics. The liver is your main pathway for eliminating toxins, and the Die-Off symptoms mean that it is being overwhelmed.

Die-Off Symptoms

Here is a list of some of the symptoms you might experience during a die-off (otherwise known as a Herxheimer reaction).

- Nausea

- Headache, fatigue, dizziness

- Swollen glands

- Bloating, gas, constipation or diarrhea

- Increased joint or muscle pain

- Elevated heart rate

- Chills, cold feeling in your extremities

- Body itchiness, hives or rashes

- Sweating

- Fever

- Skin breakouts

- Recurring vaginal, prostate and sinus infections

Coping with Die-Off effect
These symptoms normally clear up within a few days or so, but could last a little longer (so hang in there). However, there are a few things you can do to slow down this reaction or expel the toxins faster.

- Reduce your dosage of kefir/kombucha for the day.

- Increase water intake to flush out the toxins faster.

If you want to feel better, all those byproducts that are released by the Candida yeast need to leave your body. You can give them a push by drinking more water.

-Continue with daily consumption until these symptoms cease to allow the body to detox more efficiently. With time, your gut biome should rebalance.

Craft & Culture accepts returns for our bottles at our store. 

Conditions: Bottles have to be cleaned AND dried. 

All wet, damp, dirty bottles that have food/liquid residues in them will be discarded due to food safety reasons. 

You can also choose to do refills with your own bottles! Please see section on Refill Campaigns HERE

Beverages

All sales are non-refundable. In the event that there are extenuating reasons, all outcomes are subject to owner's discretion. Please email and we will do our best to help. 

As our beverages contain live cultures, please be aware that slight differences in taste and colour are possible, subject to our climate.

Please refer to cases below (not limiting) that we do not exchange or refund for. Unless grossly misrepresented or errors were incurred on our part, all sales are final. That being said, please feel free to let us know if you have an issue and we’ll be more than happy to resolve them.

Case 1: Everyone's threshold of tartness is different and what may seem tart to some, is not for others.

We do not refund or exchange brews based on sour tastes as all bottles are prepared fresh in our kitchen, with stringent taste/quality guidelines and stored in temperature-controlled conditions before delivery. After being chilled, our brews are stable at room temperature for several hours which is why we are able to delivery our brews without cold trucks or ice packs.

We recommend that if you find our brews too tart, to dilute with water for kombucha or milk for milk kefir to taste.

Case 2: Color differences in Brews

We do not refund or make exchanges based on colour. Our bacteria are live and have different activity rates, so for example, the same batch of rose milk kefir might be pink or perhaps white. Until now, we have yet to solve the color mystery but one thing remains for certain--The taste remains the same!

Case 3: The bottle/cap is bulging slightly.

Not to worry, it's not an indicator that the brews have gone bad. Your product is raw and unpasteurized. When fermentation occurs, natural acids are produced, lowering the pH. This acidic environment inhibits the growth of harmful microbes and mould from forming.

Our brews also contain live cultures that respire, creating gases. These gases saturate the brews and cause natural carbonation! If you see caps that are bulging, make sure you pop the bottle into the fridge and chill it well before opening for a zesty, carbonated brew! Never hake vigorously and never open bulging bottles at room temperature as they will likely overflow.

Case 4: There is some chia on the outside of the bottle / clumped at the neck of the bottle

Our production team fills chia by hand and due to static, there may be cases where there is some chia seed that remain on the bottle surface while filling. While we do quality checks, we might sometimes miss some stray seeds. Clumpy chia seeds are not an indicator of a leak or that the brews are not safe to consume. When fermentation occurs, natural acids are produced, lowering the pH. This acidic environment inhibits the growth of harmful microbes and mould from forming. If there are clumps of chia in the neck of the bottle, please simply shake to mix. Chia are edible wet or dry.

Case 5: My brews overflowed/gushed out when i opened them

The kefirs and kombuchas when kept properly, can last for one month when frozen or stored in low temperatures of 2-4 Degree Celsius with no gas buildup or change in quality. 

When there is any overflow due to gas buildup, this is an indicator that your fridge is perhaps warmer than usual, which is why the fermentation is proceeding--This does not mean that your brew are unsafe for consumption. 

Our advice is to store the remaining brews you have in the freezer and leave to defrost overnight in the fridge before consuming or open over the sink with a bag covering the caps to minimize mini accidents.

Case 6: My Kombuchas or Kefirs are fizzy/not fizzy 

Unlike other brands, Craft & Culture’s brews are raw, unpasteurized and intentionally prepared fresh and flat. The best by dates are entirely dependent on how the brews are kept post delivery. As such, we do not liable for replacements or refunds after 24 hours post delivery.

Store Location: 183 Jalan Pelikat, B1-113, S(537643)

We are about a 5-10 minute walk from Kovan Mrt! 

If you drive, PARKING is free for the first 10 min, and 1 cent/min thereafter so pickups are a breeze!

We are open 24/7 for online orders on our website: www.craftculturesg.com

**We also have a Bottle Refilling Campaign for customers who wish to cut down on plastic waste and opt to refill their own containers. Click on"Bottle Returns and Refills" for more information

Temperature and Time are key. 

All Craft & Culture brews are prepared fresh and flat upon delivery and the best by dates for them are entirely dependent on how they are stored after delivery as they are raw products.

• Store all the brews as cold as possible at the recommended storage conditions (here or here) and 
• Consume within the best by date. 

Tip 1: If the bottle cap is distended, place bottle in a covered plastic bag before opening to consume - they have a high probability of overflowing due to gas buildup and may cause a mess.

Tip 2: If you're unsure if your fridge is cold enough, open all tamper-proof seals on  the bottles to vent any gas build up. If you're feeling nervous, please use a cloth to cover the tops of the bottles and open over the sink.

Tip 3: Do Not Shake vigorously. It's normal for kefir to separate into 2 layers. Shaking vigorously forces gas into the liquid and when the bottle is opened, this pressure is suddenly released...in your face. We've been guilty of this in the past!

Tip 4: Kefirs are safe to freeze. To consume, let warm up in the chiller section overnight. Shake gently to combine separated layers of curd and whey.

We deliver once a week on Fridays, and on Thurs if there is a public holiday on Friday. 

We are partnering with third party couriers that optimizes their delivery routes by zones. 

As such, we are unable to advise on your delivery timing beyond the before 5/after 5 option until Friday, when we are assigned a slot. 

If you are unable to be at home during delivery, not to worry. When our courier contacts you, just let him/her know where to leave your order. Our brews are fermented at room temperature and are safe without refrigeration for a few hours.  

You can arrange for a store up on Fridays between 4.30pm-6.30pm. Simply email or call us at least one day before Friday and we'll be happy to arrange that for you.

For group deliveries on Fridays, We are unable to confirm a specific delivery time beyond before/after 5 slots

as we partner with a third party courier company that groups routes via zones for efficiency.

For special deliveries on specific days and specific timings, we will be happy to arrange a personal courier for you. 

Please note that personal couriers require top ups via PayNow to our account. Whatsapp us for this option.

Delivery rates at checkout apply for group deliveries on Fridays only.

If you need to reschedule, please note that:

 **We allow a one-time reschedule of pickups.
     **All No Shows (with no communications/last minute cancellations) are subject to a 50% restocking fee with 50% of the order price refunded as we make our brews fresh; not turning up means we incur losses having to replace the brews.
     **Last Minute cancellations refer to 24 hours before delivery or pickup.

2 Options:

1. Let us know where to place your orders if you won't be back in time

Our courier will call/text about 5-30 minutes before arriving. 

• Not at home? Please reply to our courier that you wish to leave your order on your doorstep/front gate/riser and a photo will be sent to you as proof of delivery. Our brews are fermented at room temperature and are forgiving for a few hours unrefrigerated: 

kefirs can be safely kept at room temperature for about 5 hours before requiring refrigeration. 
Simply pop your brews in the fridge when you're back

• Upon arrival, if your destination does not have anyone, a call/text will be made and your order will be placed by your door and a picture will be sent to you as proof of delivery.

2. Change the delivery address (by Thur 6 pm) to someone who can receive on your behalf. 

Get in touch with us one day before with another address and the receiver's mobile. 

We are unable to make changes on the day of delivery AND we are unable to change addresses when the courier is stranded at the original location--additional delivery charges will apply.

Point 1. applies even for the new address.

Please note that if there is no one present to sign off on the proof of delivery AND the order goes missing, Craft & Culture is not liable for damages or replacements as proof of delivery has been made. 

Yes, Very Normal!

Long before sodas were invented, when raw unpasteurized bacteria and yeasts respire, gas produced during fermentation made brews like kefir fizzy. This is not an indication that it is not safe for consumption. In fact, kefirs can be enjoyed flat or fizzy! 

As our brews are raw and unpasteurized, fermentation rates are entirely dependent on storage temperatures post delivery. As everyone's fridge temperatures can vary, gas build up can occur resulting in gassy kefirs. 

Please refer to our link on storage temperatures here or here. The colder the brews are stored, the longer they will keep without getting gassy.

Fizzy brews are indicated by distended caps and are safe to consume as the pH after fermentation is low. That being said, please open them with care! If opened when it is not cold, contents may overflow or spray.

Yes, Very Normal!

Long before sodas were invented, when raw unpasteurized bacteria and yeasts respire, gas produced during fermentation made brews like kombucha fizzy. This is not an indication that it is not safe for consumption. In fact, kombuchas can be enjoyed flat or fizzy! 

At Craft & Culture, all our kombuchas are fermented twice under controlled temperatures and are then intentionally prepared fresh and flat before bottling. 

As our brews are raw and unpasteurized, fermentation rates can vary from batch to batch and fermentation can continue, even in the fridge, resulting in fizzy kombuchas. For example, in our peach and grape kombuchas, the active yeasts on the fruit skins contribute toward more active fermentation rates as compared to our other flavours. 

Fizzy brews are indicated by distended caps and are still safe to consume, but please open them with care! If opened when it is not cold, contents may overflow or spray.

If you'd prefer your brews flat and not fizzy, simply open the bottle and allow the gas to escape for 30 min to an hour before consuming!

Kombucha has 3 main stages: 

1. flat and fresh (drinkable, acidity lowest) - highest in probiotic activity due to sugars present for probiotic bacteria to feed on

2. crisp and fizzy (drinkable, tart) - high in probiotic activity

3. full-bodied (yeasty) and vinegary -- the third takes about 6 months, requires some dilution (before drinking) and is used as vinegar for skin, hair, salads, cleaning and more. The probiotic count is lower than the first 2 stages

Yes, very normal!

At Craft & Culture, all our kombuchas are fermented twice under controlled temperatures and are then intentionally prepared fresh and flat, unlike certain brands who have fizzy kombuchas that have been sitting on shelves for months. In fact, that is what we are known for!

Advanced Tip: If you'd prefer your kombuchas fizzy, simply leave your bottles at room temperature until the caps are slightly distended, then chill them before opening! 

• This should take about a week for flavoured kombuchas and about 2 weeks for original kombucha.  
• Do not prepare or open fizzy chia-seed kombuchas as they will make a mess. 
• Always open fizzy bottles when cold, with caution over a sink/ in a plastic bag. Do not shake violently as contents might overflow.

Kombucha has 3 main stages: 

1. flat and fresh (drinkable, acidity lowest) - highest in probiotic activity due to sugars present for probiotic bacteria to feed on.

2. crisp and fizzy (drinkable, tart) - moderately high in probiotic activity.

3. full-bodied (yeasty) and vinegary -- the third takes about 6 months, requires some dilution (before drinking) and is used as vinegar for skin, hair, salads, cleaning and more. The probiotic count is lower than the first 2 stages

Yes, very normal!

Kombucha with chia seeds:

As we make our brews fresh before topping up with chia seeds at the end, there may be times when they have not been fully shaken before delivery and might clump up as they absorb the liquid. 

Just shake the bottle or stir with a spoon to give them some time to hydrate and they'll hydrate and separate fully in your kombucha! :) 

Kefir with clumps: 

After fermentation, the kefir becomes a mixture of milk solids and transparent liquid whey. It is very normal to see clumps of milk solids. Just gently shake and consume as usual.

Yes this is perfectly normal. During the fermentation process, milk is cultured into milk kefir. This results in 2 main layers: a transparent layer called whey and a solid layer called curds. This is not an indicator that the kefir has gone bad. Simply agitate or shake gently and the layers will recombine. 

At Craft & Culture, we use whole cow's milk that is:

• pasteurized, 
• no hormones
• no antibiotics 

This is safe for pregnant or nursing mums.

Kombucha:

All our ready-to-drink kombuchas intentionally contain added sugar:

• As sugar is a food source for probiotic bacteria and yeasts in Kombucha, making sugarless or no-sugar kombucha starves and inactivate the bacteria, which defeats the purpose of taking raw probiotics.
  In sugarless kombuchas, yeasts become dominant in the brew and the taste will be reminiscent of beer. Drinking liquid yeast in large quantities may also contribute to candida or yeast infections. 
• Sugar present during the fermentation is converted into beneficial substances like amino acids, vitamins etc. On top of that, the overall sugar present is always less than what is added as the brews are contain live bacteria that are respiring.
• Some brands create sugarless kombuchas And/Or kombuchas that have extremely long shelf lives (to eliminate sugar) in the name of health, not fully understanding the implications mentioned above. This is  not what we stand for as medical scientists and brewers at Craft & Culture.
  
  That being said, at Craft & Culture, we make low sugar versions so that our bacteria are vital and healthy and are eager to help you balance your gut biome! Each 250 ml serving of our original black tea kombucha contains less than 3.6% BV of added sugar or about 45 calories, which is comparable to the sugar content of an apple. 

Milk Kefir:

Our original milk kefir comes sugar-free. The sugars that the bacteria consume are lactose sugars, which is why at the end of fermentation our milk kefirs are 99% lactose free and are safe for people who are lactose-intolerant.

Diabetes-Friendly:

-Original Milk Kefir (no added sugar)

-For diabetics who still prefer to take kombucha, please take half a serving, then wait for 1-2 hours and take a blood glucose test to monitor levels. If the levels are acceptable, try with 1 full serving and repeat. This method allows diabetics to determine what volumes can be consumed safely.

We do not provide ice packs/cooler bags/styrofoam boxes. As we ferment all kombuchas and kefirs at ambient temperature for the second fermentation, 

• kombucha can be safely kept at room temperature for up to 2 days before requiring refrigeration while 
• kefirs can be safely kept at room temperature for about 7-8 hours before requiring refrigeration. 

Simply pop your brews in the fridge when you're back!

Kefir and Kombuch, as fermented products, are considered to be Halal. 

According to Islamqa for milk kefir and 
Kombucha (click on underlined links): 

Where the concentration of alcohol in the drink is very small, in such a way that it will not cause intoxication no matter how much a person drinks of it. This concentration has no effect, and this drink is halaal. There is no evidence in Islam to suggest that the mere presence of a small concentration of alcohol in a drink – no matter how small it is – makes the drink haraam. Rather the hadith quoted above indicate that the reason for the prohibition is intoxication; therefore whatever drinks cause intoxication are haraam, and whatever does not cause intoxication is halaal.

Craft & Culture's kitchen, while not Halal-certified, produces only fermented products and fermented brews--we do not process meat within our premises.

Currently we sell kombucha and kefir at our brewery. Cultures, if any will be listed on our store. Availability of cultures are prioritized for our workshops :)

Allergies

Allergies are very common in the developed world. It affects 20% of the population in developed countries and the numbers are set to increase. Allergies arise due to the hypersensitivity of the immune system to common substances in the environment.

These diseases include allergic rhinitis (hayfever), food allergies, atopic dematitis (otherwise known as eczema), allergic ashtma and anaphylaxis. Symptoms may include red eyes, an itchy rash, sneezing, a runny nose, shortness of breath or swelling. Atopic dematitis (eczema) is the most common affliction and affects a person's quality of life.

There has been research shown that probiotics can be used to help manage these conditions.

The cause of these allergies is due to a faulty immune response, and one of the possible remedies to strengthen the immune system is through the use of probiotics. 70% of the immune system lies in the gut. Therefore, by increasing the amount of good bacteria helps to tip the balance towards a robust immune system.

In 2017, a study has shown that probiotics can prevent children with a higher genetic risk from developing eczema.

A 2016 study also concluded that probiotics may have a positive effect on atopic dermatitis treatment.

Allergies and eczema have to be treated via a 2 prong strategy - internally and externally.

Treating it internally refers to the diet and externally refers to lifestyle changes.

 Changing a diet :

• Avoid any food that has triggered the allergies. Do consult your physician if you have not identified the allergens and triggers.
• Take food that is rich in probiotics.

Changing a lifestyle :

Remove allergens from your environment if you are aware of environmental triggers, e.g. dust mites, pollen, animal hair

• Wear natural fabrics to reduce skin irritation.
• Use natural skincare products if possible, e.g. soaps, lotions, detergents

Food Rich in Probiotics like Kefir & Kombucha Can Help

Kefir, Kombucha and other fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimbchi etc are high in probiotics and can help manage allergies and eczema in a holistic way. At Craft & Culture, we recommend taking kombucha and kefir regularly and externally, we use topical balms to manage inflammation and itch. See below for a marked improvement in eczema conditions.

Probiotics are live bacteria and yeast that add to the "good" bacteria in our gut, supporting a healthy digestive system. The live bacteria in probiotics attach to the gut wall, leaving less space for undesirable or "bad" bacteria to grow. This promotes a healthy balance of bacteria in the digestive system, improving its function.

Some foods are naturally rich in probiotics. These include:

• Milk kefir
• Kombucha
• Sauerkraut
• Kimchi
• Natural cocoa powder

• Miso

Benefits of Probiotics

Eating food which is rich in probiotics has other health benefits, beyond the potential treatment of allergies and eczema. These include:

• Relieves allergies and maintains skin health
• Improve immune system, especially related ailments such as chronic fatigue syndrome, herpes, cancer and AIDS
• Tranquilizing effect on the nervous system e.g. sleep disorders, depression, and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder)
• Improves gut health and intestinal disorders with its cleansing effect
• Beneficial for those on diets as it helps eliminate unhealthy food cravings by keeping the body nourished and balanced.
• Regulates blood pH levels
• detoxifies the liver
• Improves energy levels

For Mums

Can I take Kombucha/Kefir when I'm pregnant?

If you have been taking probiotics before or during your pregnancy, you can continue to take probiotic food such as kombucha and kefir. If you haven't, then you may want to consult with your doctor on this.

In what way is probiotics beneficial to my child and me?

Probiotics in the form of natural food is considered very beneficial to pregnant women and their babies. 

According to women's health specialists, pregnant mothers are exceptionally prone to bacterium strep which can be passed to the baby and can cause an infection. Not only that, nursing mothers may develop such infection in the breast and pass it to their babies through breastfeeding. The probiotics in milk kefir and kombucha can prevent the overgrowth of this bacterium called Group B Beta Strep.

Pregnant and nursing mums are advised to take natural probiotic food in order to absorb essential nutrients, increase immunity and aid the body’s adjustment to hormonal changes. Hormonal imbalances cause problems often in the form of irritating and even life threatening infections, such as yeast overgrowth, caused by depletion of good bacteria. Fortunately, probiotic-filled beverages can help prevent and even treat many such infections.

The experimental benefits are not only for mums but can also be passed on to the unborn child and through breastfeeding to nursing babies.

Experimental Benefits

• Relieves allergies and maintains skin health
• Improves immune system
• Tranquilizing effect on the nervous system e.g. sleep disorders, depression, and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder)
• Improves gut health and intestinal disorders with its cleansing effect
• Regulates blood pH levels
• Detoxifies the liver
• Improves energy levels

For Nursing Mums

Kefir and Kombucha are exceptionally beneficial for nursing mums as the regular consumption helps to render foods consumed more bioavailable to the body. Kefir and Kombucha also helps to promote better absorption of proteins and amino acids in the mother's body, indirectly providing more nutrients to the baby. 

For Kids

How much can my child consume in a day?

Milk Kefir

• 1 year-2 years: 4 tablespoons. 
• 2-3 years: 1/4 bottle (~60 ml)
• 3-5 years: 1/2 bottle (~120 ml)
• 5-7 years: 1 bottle (250 ml)

Kombucha

• 1 year onwards - 1/4 bottle (~60 ml)
• 3-5 years: 1/2 bottle (~120 ml)
• 5-7 years: 1 bottle (250 ml)

How can it help my child?

Probiotics improves children's immune system so that they fall ill less often, and even when they do, they bounce back within days with little or no medication. They have better focus and concentration in school. Not only that, if they tend to be less hyperactive if you replace the sugared drinks in their diets with our probiotic beverages.

Overall, the kiddos are happier as there has been extensive research on probiotics improving the gut-brain axis and the effects of it when it is being used in treating depressive symptoms.

Kombucha is made with black tea, containing Caffeine. Is it safe for kids to consume? 

Even though Kombucha is brewed with tea, the caffeine levels after fermentation are super low. Why? As the stability of caffeine in water is about 3 days in water at room temperature, the resultant levels after fermenting for 4 weeks means that our Kombuchas are Pet- and Child-friendly! Kombucha also imparts unique gut flora which help complement the positive bacteria of Milk Kefir! The sugar content in our brews are about 5% by bottle volume. 

Why Probiotics for Dogs and Cats?

Most dogs and cats eat lots of dried kibble and drink not nearly enough water. As a variety of pet foods contain high amounts of processed grains and carbohydrates which break down to simple sugars...kicking yeast and skin infections into overdrive!

When our fur friends suffer from gut problems, poor immunity, skin and health health, we also spend lots of money at the vet. Why not maintain good health for our fur friends by introducing Milk Kefir and Kombucha into their diets? Milk Kefir and Kombucha helps to regulate good bacteria in both pet and human guts, and contains over 30 strains of beneficial bacteria and yeast. Craft & Culture is the first kefir brewery to provide quality Kefirs to fur babies and human parents in Singapore since 2016, way before other companies followed suit!
