We’re working with Starbucks to encourage healthier eating habits for customers.

This year, we are working with Starbucks as part of our commitment to look for new, innovative solutions to drive healthier eating habits and provide increased options for consumers across the UK, without compromising on taste. We aim to help them with their ongoing work to make it easier for customers to make healthier choices, aiming to develop new initiatives that promote healthier options without affecting flavour or quality.
