Starbucks reduces trans fats
Related entries in StarbucksStarbucks baked goods are just as bad as any fast food burger. After many years, they’ve decided to clean it up. Well, not so much decided, as rather caved into pressure to do so. But, who’s mincing words…
However, getting all Starbucks trans-fat free will take time. Each region has its own local bakery and food supply chain, and all must be adjusted.
To review the nutritional content of your local Starbucks, you must enter your ZIP on the website. Nutritional values vary for the same reason as above – different suppliers. From those I’ve tested, none appear to have trans fat left on the menu.
However, the fat content itself is still astronomically high. Also interesting to note that the no sugar products have pretty much the most fat. 27g of fat for the no sugar banana nut coffee cake. That’s 8 extra grams of fat over a blueberry scone, if you can believe it.

Who cares about trans-fats. The real issue is that starbucks baked goods are appalling tasteless crap.
You cannot walk down a main street in a German Austrian, Hungarian or French village(probably elsewhere in Europe too but those I can speak for) without finding a cafe or kondittorei serving baked goods orders of magnitude better than starbucks.
Why the devil would anyone even look at “banana nut coffee cake”, whatever the hell that is, much less eat the damned thing?
Must we North Americans persist in being ignorant yokels? Comb the straw outen yer hairs, hayseeds.
Starbucks, pfah.
