On the morning of December 13, two Starbucks stores in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, were exposed to problems such as tampering with the shelf life of raw materials and continuing to sell pastries that promised to "not stay overnight after opening" the next day. In this regard, at 11:00 a.m. on the 13th, Starbucks China said that it had closed the two stores at the first time and immediately launched an in-depth investigation.
Two stores were exposed to tampering with the shelf life of raw materials
Drinks made from expired ingredients are sold
On the morning of the 13th, some media undercover investigations in Starbucks Wuxi Changxing Building Store and Wuxi Zhenze Road Store found that the two stores frequently touched the red line of food safety.
For example, if a best-selling drink made from expired ingredients is sold, if there is a lot of old material left, the clerk will directly tamper with the shelf life of the raw material of the drink.
It is reported that the shelf life of black tea liquid and matcha liquid for making drinks is only one day, and it is often encountered that the expiration time is not used up until the raw materials are not used up. Therefore, it is common to artificially tamper with the shelf life.
According to media reports, the store's supervisor was also aware of this behavior, and after the supervisor and the clerk tampered with the shelf life, these expired ingredients were artificially "extended" for a week.

Continue to be on the counter the next day
Media reports said that tampering with the shelf life of ingredients is not a special operation of this Starbucks store. At another Starbucks store, they did the same thing with expired ingredients.
The pastries that promised to "stay overnight after opening" were listed again the next day. A supervisor said that the leftovers from the previous day were put on the counter to continue selling, "first sell the leftovers from yesterday, and then sell the new ones today." ”
The two stores also have unhygienic phenomena such as wiping the coffee machine and bar with a rag that wipes the garbage can, and the towel will not be discarded but will continue to be used, in addition, the store also has problems such as handling problems in advance to cope with the inspection of the ingredients.
Starbucks responded that the store involved was closed
In this regard, Starbucks China told reporters that it has learned about the food safety problem and is conducting an internal investigation.
