|---|---|---|
| Popping boba packets (Strawberry, Mango Passion Fruit, Dark Cherry, Super Blue Raspberry, Cotton Candy) | Mt. Vernon, MO (Boh Bah Inc) | Made in USA |
Every BobaVida flavor, from Strawberry and Mango Passion Fruit to Cotton Candy, comes out of that Missouri plant in single-serve packets. The FAQ does not say where individual ingredients such as fruit juices or sweeteners are sourced, so "made in the USA" here describes where the boba is produced.

About BobaVida
BobaVida sells fruit-flavored popping boba in single-serve packets, made by Boh Bah Inc. at a 50,000 square foot plant in Mount Vernon, Missouri that opened in 2026.
Popping boba from southwest Missouri
BobaVida's popping boba is made by Boh Bah Inc., a company Scott Van Rixel founded in 2023. The FAQ says Boh Bah "recently expanded into a new, state-of-the-art 50,000 square foot facility in Mt. Vernon, Missouri," and Food Processing reported the grand opening of the FDA-registered plant in 2026. Every flavor we list, from Strawberry and Dark Cherry to Cotton Candy, comes from that plant.
What is in the packets
The brand says the pearls are vegan and free of nuts, dairy, soy, gluten and eggs, with natural flavors and no preservatives. Unopened packets keep for up to 12 months on the shelf, and once opened they should be refrigerated and eaten within about two weeks. BobaVida does not say where its fruit juices or sweeteners come from, so its made-in-USA statement is about where the boba is produced.
