Last Updated: 2026/04/09, Some are renamed almonds and some are called almonds. Starbucks China has no response. I went to Starbucks yesterday and found that the almonds sold in the store were renamed almonds. I asked the clerk to know that these were the almonds originally sold. Just when it was revealed that American almonds were actually almonds, yesterday, Mr. Liu, a citizen, found that the Starbucks coffee shop in the Continental Plaza in Shunyi District had renamed almonds to almonds.

Some changed their names to "almonds" and some even called "almonds". Starbucks China has not responded yet.

"I went to Starbucks yesterday and found that the almonds sold in the store were renamed almonds. I asked the clerk to know that these were the almonds they were originally sold." At a time when it was revealed that American almonds were actually almonds, Mr. Liu, a citizen, found that the Starbucks coffee shop in the Continental Square in Shunyi District had changed the name of the almonds to "almonds". The reporter then investigated and found that not all Starbucks changed their names, and Starbucks Enterprise Management (China) Co., Ltd. did not explain this question.

Some stores changed their names quietly.

Yesterday, the reporter came to Starbucks in the European Square. The 50g packaged nuts originally written with "almonds" had been renamed "almonds". From time to time, customers asked the clerk whether the almonds were the original almonds. The staff explained that the store had changed the name of "almonds" to "almonds" for several days. "because the products sold were almonds, they changed their names."

"originally, I didn't know that the almonds sold in Starbucks were almonds, which have been very popular recently. When I saw them change their names today, I knew that I had not eaten almonds before." Mr. Liu, a citizen, said that he had bought nuts labeled "almonds" from Starbucks many times and found no difference in taste between them and the "big almonds" bought in the supermarket. Mr. Liu said that he had seen on the Internet that almonds are different from almonds. Eating too much will hurt your health.

Product renaming is not uniform

Subsequently, the reporter in Xidan Dayue City, Zhongyou Department Store and other three Starbucks found that the almonds sold in the store have not changed their name.

At the reporter's inquiry, the staff said that they did not know about the name change.

Ms. Li, a customer, said that she had seen the news in the media that American almonds were fake almonds to deceive Chinese consumers. "I don't think Starbucks will sell fake almonds. After all, it is an internationally renowned brand."

Starbucks China has not responded yet.

On November 23, the nut stir-frying professional committee of the China Food Industry Association officially issued a statement that it would change the name of "American Big Almond". The statement pointed out that the fact that "American Big Almond" is an amygdala is clear and well-founded, and will correctly guide enterprises to promote the renaming of American Big Almond in an orderly manner.

For Starbucks in the Beijing area to change the name of "almond" to "almond", the reporter called Starbucks Enterprise Management (China) Co., Ltd., staff said they were not clear about the matter.
