Starbucks will no longer offer organic milk

Starbucks will cease offering organic milk to its coffee-quaffing
customers at the end of February. The company has offered organic cow
juice since 2001 at an extra charge, but "orders of drinks made with
organic milk have consistently been a small percentage of total
orders," according to a spokesperson. The chain has stopped using
milk from cows shot up with artificial growth hormone; says a Starbucks
memo to employees, "If a customer requests organic milk, let them know
that our milk is now rBGH-free." Organic milk is also rBGH-free, but
additionally requires that cows have access to pasture and eat
pesticide-free feed.
