  • Starbucks (SBUX +0.1%) is facing criticism from the Action on Sugar due to the high level of sugar in many of its drinks.
  • The group is pointing to several drinks that have 99 grams of sugar which is more than double than the amount in a can of Coke or Pepsi.
  • The company says it's already agreed to reduce sugar in its "indulgent" drinks by 25% before the end of 2020.
  • Drinks from Costa Coffee (OTCPK:WTBCF, OTCPK:WTBCY), KFC (NYSE:YUM), and McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) also were singled out as sugar-intense.
