SEATTLE — Starbucks Coffee Company has announced that by the end of 2007, the company will eliminate the use of artificial trans fats in food and beverages in all stores in the continental U.S., Alaska and Canada.
 
"No longer using artificial trans fats in products sold in our stores allows us to take out ingredients like partially hydrogenated oils that have no health benefit, while retaining high quality and great tasting natural ingredients," said Denny Marie Post, senior vice president of Global Food and Beverage for Starbucks.
 
 
Once completed, every item in Starbucks locations — whether it's a new product introduction or an old favorite — will be made without any artificial trans fat. Work also is underway to begin the removal of artificial trans fats from products in markets outside North America.
