What’s in your Starbucks coffee? Don’t ask – they won’t tell you
Starbucks doesn’t think its customers have the right to know what’s in their coffee. People in the small state of Vermont disagree – they want to know if Starbucks coffee (or anything else) is made from genetically modified (GM) ingredients, so they have asked for labelling that makes this clear. It seems a harmless request, but it has set Starbuckian nerves trembling, and they have teamed up with the chemical giant Monsanto to sue Vermont and prevent them from finding the truth.
Sumofus is running a petition aiming to induce Starbucks to withdraw its support for the lawsuit. Click on the blue paragraph to support them, bearing in mind that Starbucks is with us here in Scotland.
