Starbucks, Arla Collaborate to Launch No Added Sugar Frappuccino

Starbucks launched the "no sugar" bottled frappuccino in collaboration with Arla.

Starbucks and Arla Foods have teamed up to release no added sugar frappuccino ready-to-drink chilled coffee. Through its collaboration with the famous coffee house chain, the Danish-Swedish dairy company is expanding its RTD coffee line.

No Sugar Frap Variant

According to Dairy News, the latest beverage was created by blending Starbucks' signature espresso roast coffee with milk and caramel. The result offers the same rich taste that the coffee chain is known for. The taste is very similar to the classic Starbucks Frappuccino Caramel, but the RTD option has no sugar.

Starbucks and Arla have come together to make this frappuccino variant as more and more people are demanding balanced drink options. Some customers want their caffeine fix with fewer calories so the companies cooperate to remove the sugar in bottled frappuccino.

Release Date and Price

The new Starbucks Frappuccino Caramel No Added Sugar was set for launch on March 25. Starbucks and Arla’s collaborative product is set to be released via the ASDA chain of British supermarkets.

The new no added sugar Starbucks frappuccino will be sold in 250 ml. glass bottle with a recommended retail price of £2.10 in the U.K. Arla is also seeing the addition of this new frappuccino variant as a good enhancement to Starbucks’ product line as it is offering a unique selling point in its coffee selection that most people prefer today.

“We know our customers are looking for beverages that meet their evolving needs, so we are constantly developing our product portfolio to offer more options that work for them,” Scottish Grocer quoted Arla’s head of beverage, Adam Hacking, as saying in a statement. “Reduced sugar innovations have driven 13% year-on-year growth in global food and drink NPDs."

He added, “The new Starbucks Frappuccino Caramel no added Sugar will build on this to quench the thirst for lighter enjoyment and fill the Frappuccino gap in the Starbucks range of skinny and no added sugar SKUs.”
