Truth Analysis
Analysis Summary:
The article's main claim about Starbucks adding protein lattes and cold foams is plausible but lacks specific confirmation for the stated launch date (September 29). The Bloomberg and Fortune articles confirm Starbucks is testing protein options, but the CBS article's timing is questionable. The bias is minimal, presenting the information in a straightforward manner.
Detailed Analysis:
- Claim: Starbucks is adding protein cold foams and protein lattes to its menu.
- Verification Source #2: Bloomberg reports on June 10, 2025, that Starbucks is testing a protein option in its drink lineup, including a latte topped with protein banana cold foam.
- Verification Source #5: Fortune reports on June 11, 2025, that Starbucks will test a new protein latte.
- Verification Source #1: Starbucks' website mentions pumpkin cream cold foam but does not mention protein cold foam or lattes.
- Assessment: Supported by Bloomberg and Fortune, indicating a test phase. The Starbucks website does not confirm or deny, but the absence of protein-specific items suggests it's not a widespread menu item yet. The date of the CBS article (September 29, year unspecified) is questionable given the 2025 dates in Bloomberg and Fortune.
