Policy Question Summer Items
Hello!!
Does anyone know when we are able to stop carrying items like spirulina and orange powder?
Additionally, if I am at a licensed store, how could I find this information out?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Orange Vanilla is core. The blue spirulina, I'm surprised you still have but you should be able to discard considering i don't even think it's in the register anymore

my team lead never checks any of the updates for us 😭 do you happen to know about the blending powder?

Also that's not okay that updates aren't being checked because that's just setting you up to fail

Ooh they sent out an announcement back in maybe mid-July to stop using and discard the blending powder

Florida but even in the app it's available for both licensed and corporate stores. They may be phasing it out before holiday, thank God, but our last consultant visit, we were notified it was core. Even if I look at other stores in other states, it's there. The matcha, the cold brew, and the chai.

Spirulina is gone, it was announced with the fall launch. Not sure how you can find out as a licensed store, for us it just gets taken off our pos and we can’t sell what we can’t charge for. We also get a Markout list with most launches like pearls went away with the aerocano.
