Our Commitment to High-Quality Food & Beverages

At Starbucks, we believe choice should come with confidence.

Our diverse menu of high-quality foods and beverages empower customers to make informed nutritional decisions, with transparency on ingredients, calories, and more. Plus, we keep it simple—no high fructose corn syrup, artificial dyes, flavors, or artificial trans-fats.

Nutrition facts and ingredients for a majority of the food and beverages served at Starbucks are available on **Starbucks.com**, on the Starbucks® app.
