Startup CPG Newswire:
Kif Rebrands as “Nature’s Soda,” Positioning Itself as the All Natural Choice in the Functional Soda Space

PRESS RELEASE — NEWS PROVIDED BY Maddie D’Antuono for Kif

LOS ANGELES, CA (2025) — Kif, the naturally fermented, low sugar, potent probiotic drink born, is unveiling a new identity: Kif Nature’s Soda.

Formerly known as Kif Kefir Water, the brand’s new name and refreshed visual identity reflect a bold step into the rapidly growing healthy soda category. With 12B+ live probiotics per can, fewer than 6 grams of sugar, and zero artificial sweeteners or ingredients, Kif is redefining soda as the only all-natural, gut-healthy, truly functional soda on the market.

The rebrand stems from deep listening to Kif’s community. While originally marketed as a kefir water, customers consistently viewed Kif as a soda alternative — one that delivers on taste, fizz, and wellness. “We were marketing our products as kefir water, but raising awareness around an unknown product category is an extremely tall task. We needed to meet our consumers where they were, and they were reaching for healthy soda. Time and time again, they placed Kif in the rapidly growing healthy soda category, and we listened,” says founder Caroline Brain.

The updated brand identity doubles down on Kif’s core values: ingredient transparency, function, and fun. Each can is still brewed with real ingredients using natural fermentation, but the branding now better reflects what Kif truly is — a healthy soda powered by plants & probiotics, designed for today’s gut-conscious consumer.

With this rebrand, Kif signals its mission to make truly better-for-you bubbly drinks a mainstream staple. No added sweeteners, additives, or ingredients. This is soda, Mother Nature’s way.
