- It was the new Chicken Maple Butter sandwich.
Starbucks withdraws the new breakfast chicken sandwich from its menu after complaints of diarrhea and vomiting. The company issued a «stop sell» because it «did not meet Starbucks’ quality standards», according to several outlets including the New York Post and Merca2.0.
The Chicken Maple Butter sandwich had to be removed from the menu just a few days after its launch after customers and employees reported getting sick after eating it. The issues were surprising since it was only released a month ago.
WHAT WILL CUSTOMERS DO?
Almost immediately after trying the chain’s new sandwich and getting sick, people began sharing their symptoms on social media. Some even threatened to sue Starbucks over the potentially tainted meal.
People wrote the following: “Suing for the worst diarrhea of my life. I’ve been living in my bathroom for 2 days,» posted a user on TikTok. “I had it last Wednesday… super sick… I tested positive for campylobacter (food poisoning caused by raw chicken) on Sunday.” Filed Under: Starbucks Chicken Diarrhea Sandwich
WHAT OTHER COMPLAINTS WERE THERE?
In addition to complaints of illness, some people tweeted the sandwich felt raw or icy in the middle, as if it weren’t cooked through, which could lead to stomach upsets, as well as vomiting and diarrhea.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a warning that raw chicken may be contaminated with Campylobacter bacteria and sometimes with Salmonella and Clostridium perfringens bacteria, so its consumption should be completely avoided.

WHY DID THEY PULL THE SANDWICH?
According to the NY Post, Starbucks admitted that the Chicken Maple Butter sandwich «did not meet Starbucks quality standards» and launched a voluntary recall and «stop sell» or donate order. The company insisted that the sandwich was fully cooked adding, «It’s not related to listeria and salmonella.»
There have been several other cases of companies withdrawing products after complaints of illness lately. It should be remembered that in April the European firm Ferrero withdrew a batch of Kinder eggs due to salmonella cases in Europe. Filed Under: Starbucks Chicken Diarrhea Sandwich
