It’s being permanently discontinued, not recalled.

Very berry was discontinued. A few weeks back there was a recall in n the berries used as the inclusions for the drink. But that drink has since been permanently discontinued.

Bro this was a while ago I really hope yall haven't been selling it this whole time 😬

The berries were recalled. It’s different than what it was before. The powder that covered the fruits used to be purple like the dragonfruit but it’s red and taste weird. And it’s too big. The berries used to be smaller.

This was a while ago. I had the job of throwing out all the berries. Then we had to make it colorless or with a different inclusion for color. Then it got discontinued altogether

the berries were recalled then it was discontinued bc starbucks cannot ever create a decent product

I was told that the black berries were recalled because they shipped with thorns in some of them

Very Berry in the US had berries recalled over a month ago. This prompted them to jumpstart the discontinuation which was planned for the summer. (It was going to be discontinued when Kiwi came out but didn’t due to the delays we had then). A weekly update after that said for everyone to markout and discard the Very Berry base, which we couldn’t sell without the berries unless requested anyway. (Same way we technically cannot sell a caramel frap if we run out of caramel drizzle, etc. Affects the experience and image of the item/Starbucks.)

While it had its following, VBH only comprised 12% of sales. So the room makes way for new items. Kiwi will probably be next, if not the chocolate malt powder.

It doesn’t meet Starbucks standards

Usually if it’s something where they don’t say, it’s probably a quality control issue and not anything health related

Isn’t it being discontinued
