Starbucks has released information regarding menu customization for various dietary requirements. Initial guidance focused on gluten-free options, detailing which beverages are naturally gluten-free—such as espresso-based drinks, brewed coffee, and teas—while advising customers on the limited availability of gluten-free food and the risks of cross-contamination.

Subsequent information expanded on customization for sugar-free and dairy-free diets. For sugar-free needs, the company suggests using unsweetened bases, sugar-free vanilla syrup, or artificial sweeteners like Stevia. For dairy-free requirements, customers can utilize milk alternatives such as almond, coconut, or soy milk, though it is noted that certain seasonal items, like the Pumpkin Spice Latte, require specific modifications because the standard sauce contains condensed milk.
