Is the MochaSauce Vegan? (self.starbucksbaristas)

I am 99% sure it doesn’t have gelatin. Gelatin has to be listed on the ingredients label. The only way I can think of it not being vegan is if it’s made with sugar processed with bone char (basically animal bone powder to make it white). A lot of sugar is made with bone char btw!! I’ve searched and searched for this info and I can’t find it. It’s basically impossible to figure out if you’re drinking murdered animal bones or not.

That being said, most people agree that Starbucks probably sources more natural ingredients due to backlash a while ago about artificial flavors and colors.

Tldr no one really knows and there’s no easy way to tell, but I’m a hardcore vegan and still drink it and most vegans agree it’s ok.

Thank you!! I was confused since I would not have thought that the mocha had gelatin traces haha

Regular mocha sauce is vegan.

White mocha, pumpkin spice, caramel drizzle, dark caramel sauce, Java chips and any of the other holiday drinks, are ALL NON-vegan. They all have dairy in them!

Cloud powder has egg in it.

I inform every customer when they’re asking for a nondairy base because I personally have bad allergies and know a lot of people are severely lactose intolerant or vegan. So I let everyone know that it has dairy in it every single time.

Don't all of our sauces have dairy though?

Most sauces have dairy. But mocha is a powder mixed with water though. No condensed milk lol

I just assumed they used powdered milk since it is shelf stable.. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I know our Caramel sauce, Pumpkin sauce, and White Mocha state that they have dairy in them. But I never found anything stated on the Mocha which caused my confusion. I believe our Toasted White Mocha and one other winter sauce had dairy traces as well
