Starbucks revamps nutrition guidePosted Feb 28th 2006 11:04AM by Nicole WestonFiled under: Breakfast, Snacks, Dessert, Restaurants, Coffee shopsFor the longest time, the nutritional
information available on the Starbucks website has only covered some of the
most popular pastries, in addition to covering their entire drink menu. The problem with this is that many of the
pastries are different from region to region. For example, Starbucks in Northern California are more likely to have
Organic Banana Berry Muffins than in Southern California, and Starbucks in New York carry Black and White Cookies. It
was possibly to obtain the information by calling their customer service center, but though it was a toll-free number,
it often seemed like a lot of effort to find out the number of calories in a muffin. Recently, though, Starbucks
revamped their on-site nutritional information. Now, you can input the zip code o the Starbucks you’re headed to
and it will give you the nutritional information for all the pastries that they offer there. This will be
great for anyone following a particular diet or simply wanting to watch what he or she eats, though I’m sure that
some Starbucks patrons will probably happier not to know the fat content of their "low fat" Apricot Blueberry
Muffin - which does not actually meet the federal guidelines for a "low fat" item (under 3 grams of fat
per serving), as Starbucks now shows that the muffin has 7 grams of fat.
