Starbucks plans to donate 100% of unsold food in America
By Sarah Sutton • March 23, 2016
The company said Tuesday that it will aim to contribute “100%” of its leftover food from its 7,000-plus U.S. locations by this time next year thanks in part to a new partnership with Feeding America, which has a national network of food banks. Starbucks plans to have given out 5 million meals — including breakfast sandwiches, paninis and salads — by the end of 2016. The company has invested in research to determine the best way to ensure food stays safe until it is consumed.
