This Popular Starbucks Drink Was Just Recalled in Several States — Eat This Not That
Starbucks has just issued a recall for one of its most popular drinks in several states. The company has recalled its bottled Frappuccino drinks due to a potential health risk. The recall affects bottles of the Mocha Frappuccino, Vanilla Frappuccino, and Coffee Frappuccino drinks sold in 13 states.
The recall was issued after the company discovered that the drinks may contain pieces of plastic. The plastic pieces were found in the bottles during a routine quality check. Starbucks has urged customers to discard any bottles of the recalled drinks.
The recalled drinks were sold in 13 states, including Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, and Alaska. The drinks were sold in 9.5-ounce bottles with a “best by” date of June 26, 2021.
Starbucks has said that no other products are affected by the recall. Customers who have purchased the recalled drinks can return them to the store for a full refund. Customers can also contact Starbucks customer service at 1-800-STARBUCKS for more information.

These drinks are sure to satisfy your craving for a delicious Starbucks beverage without the risk of consuming plastic pieces.
Six months after recalling more than 250,000 cases of its Double Shot Espresso drinks due to “inadequate sealing,” Starbucks is pulling another beverage from grocery store shelves.
On September 9, Food Safety News reported that PepsiCo Inc.—the company that makes and distributes ready-to-drink Starbucks products—has recalled 221 cases of Starbucks’ Vanilla Espresso Triple Shot drinks because they may be contaminated with metal fragments.
The recall applies to 15-ounce bottles of the beverage, which were packaged in cases of 12 bottles. The coffee drinks were sold in Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Oklahoma, and Texas, but the stores that carried the products have not been specified.
While the UPC number and expiration date have also not been provided, the company urges consumers who still have these beverages to return them to their place of purchase. “Foodborne foreign objects that are hard and sharp are likely to cause serious injury or dental injury,” the website’s announcement reads.
This recall, which was first initiated on August 15, was posted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in an enforcement report on September 8. However, the agency has not issued a press release for the recall.

The Vanilla Espresso Triple Shot drinks aren’t the only Starbucks products that have been removed from sale this summer. In June, the coffee giant issued a voluntary “stop sell” on its new Chicken, Maple Butter & Egg Sandwich because it didn’t “meet quality standards.” The sandwich was sold in Starbucks locations nationwide.
The decision to get rid of the new sandwich just five days after its launch followed several complaints from customers and employees who reported symptoms of food poisoning after eating it. However, the coffee chain issued a statement that said, “The quality issue that was identified by Starbucks would not lead to foodborne illness and any reports linking the stop sale to illness are inaccurate.”
