It's hard to match the refreshing taste of an iced coffee on a hot summer day — but a new BBC investigation may make you think twice before you order a chilled drink.
The BBC's consumer affairs "Watchdog" program found that samples of iced drinks from Starbucks and two other UK chains including Costa Coffee and Caffe Nero contained "varying levels of the bacteria."
Along with the ice, researchers also studied the cleanliness of tables, trays, and high chairs at 30 of the coffee chain branches.
Costa Coffee was the worst offender, with seven out of 10 samples "found to be contaminated with bacteria found in feces."
Starbucks and Caffe Nero also tested positive for "fecal coliforms" in three out of 10 samples.

Given today’s climate, would be interesting to see a breakdown of fecal material to customers of ‘Rat persuasion versus pubby persuasion. (ie, when they can tell based on name on the cup, hat wearing, etc)
