Starbucks ends extended kosher program with STAR-K certification
What does this all mean in a nutshell? Please clarify asap!
thank you
Many Starbucks drinks contain grape juice and we can’t verify where the grape juice comes from.
Any Starbucks drink that contains grape juice is a problem.
The other issue at Starbucks is whole fruit like berries and strawberries which is an issue due to bug infestation.
Those are really the only two problems at a Starbucks in reference to coffees and teas.
These two issues are not new issues though. Is it confirmed that because of these two main issues, star-k – Kosher Starbucks will no longer be able to certify what drinks are and what are not kosher at Starbucks?
These are the only two issues we are concerned about.
What’s going on between Starbucks and Star-K is not something I have info on.
