The product used in our coffeehouses is a blending powder which contains a small amount of food grade silica, an FDA-approved ingredient commonly used in food products that helps ingredients mix consistently and supports a consistent beverage experience. It does not contain crystalline silica and is safe for use in food.

We are committed to providing accurate information about our ingredients. To learn more about our commitment to high-quality food and drinks visit https://about.starbucks.com/our-commitment-to-high-quality-food-and-beverages/.
