Starbucks Introduces New Additions to Chilled RTD Range in the UK

UK - Starbucks is launching two new plant-based products in its UK Chilled RTD coffee line, as demand for dairy-free alternatives that easily fit into busy lifestyles continues to grow.

Rounding out its on-the-go Chilled Classics lineup will be the Oat Based Cappuccino and Oat Based Caramel Macchiato. According to a press statement, the company's innovation team has worked hard to develop plant-based recipes that taste the same as its main dairy range.

Charlotte Oldham, Starbucks' marketing director for EMEA, stated, "Expanding the choices we offer to our consumers, regardless of their flavor preferences or lifestyles, is a testament to Starbucks' pioneering efforts to continuously innovate our product offering without ever compromising on taste."

The company has also launched two limited-edition products. The Starbucks Frappuccino Sip On Sunlight iced coffee aims to capture 'feel good sentiments in a bottle,' with toffee and honey flavors that 'conjure the feeling of sunlight'. The package is brightly colored and has drawings of the sun and bumblebees. Oldham describes the limited-edition drink as a "chilled coffee treats with a fun and playful concept to provide consumers with a delicious moment of positivity".

In addition, a limited-edition Starbucks Blissful Retreat product has joined the Chilled Classics lineup to 'offer a quiet moment' for coffee aficionados. It is packaged with espresso, milk, mocha flavor, and sea salt notes, and the packaging has 'calming' blue waves and a tropical paradise-themed design.

All of the new products will be available in grocery and convenience stores nationwide this month (January 2025).
