RETRACTION: Setting the record straight on Starbucks and STAR-K

We wish to formally retract our recent article regarding Starbucks and STAR-K kosher certification. The article contained significant errors based on outdated information from approximately ten years ago.

The article incorrectly stated that Starbucks had terminated an expanded kosher information partnership with STAR-K and that the certification agency had reduced its list of kosher-compliant beverages. This information was inaccurate and does not reflect the current relationship between Starbucks and STAR-K.

We take our responsibility to provide accurate information to our readers seriously, particularly regarding matters of kosher certification that affect religious observance. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused our readers, Starbucks, STAR-K, and the Jewish community.

For current information about kosher products at Starbucks, we encourage readers to consult STAR-K's official website (https://www.star-k.org) or contact them directly.

We have removed the original article to prevent the spread of misinformation. Our editorial team will be implementing additional fact-checking procedures to prevent similar errors in the future.

We appreciate our readers' understanding in this matter.
