Kombucha tea after the recall: It's back and still controversial

Bottled Kombucha tea, a trendy beverage choice among the herbal set, is returning to store shelves after being recalled in June by its distributors and most notably from Whole Foods Markets.

This week, the reformulated teas returned, according to manufacturer Vibranz -- the first back on the market. At issue in June was the discovery of "slightly elevated alcohol levels" in the unpasteurized fermented brew that is made by adding bacteria and yeast to sugar and tea.
