Starbucks drink sold in stores in 7 states recalled over metal fragment concerns

A Starbucks-branded drink is being recalled over concerns about the presence of metal fragments in the product.

The affected 15-ounce versions of Starbucks Vanilla Espresso Triple Shot drinks were sold in Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Oklahoma and Texas.

A total of 221 cases are being recalled.

Although it is branded as Starbucks, the product is distributed by PepsiCo Inc., which manufactures a number of food, snack and beverage brands.

PepsiCo did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson told USA Today the products have a best-by date of March 20, 2023.
