Starbucks secretly pulls new item from menu 'after it gave customers diarrhea, vomiting and stomach pain' | The Sun
STARBUCKS has quietly pulled a new food item from its menu after customers complained of falling sick.
The item was a part of the company's revamped summer menu, but it was taken away only a week after its launch.
The New York Post reported that Starbucks' Chicken Maple Butter sandwich made customers and employees extremely ill with people complaining of stomach pains, diarrhea and vomiting.
"Suing for the worst diarrhea of my life. I have been living in my bathroom for two days now,” one person posted on TikTok.
Others who have tried the chicken sandwich also reported extreme discomfort on social media.
The New York Post reported that another person tested positive for Campylobacter, food poisoning caused by raw chicken.
A Starbucks spokesperson who spoke to The Post said that the chicken sandwich isn't "related to listeria and salmonella,” as some people reported."
Other customers complained about biting into bones or receiving an "ice cold" sandwich.
Starbucks sent an internal memo to employees to stop selling the sandwich and discard the sandwich after people reported getting sick after trying the new sandwich.
The memo was posted online.
