For instance, I've checked myself about the carmel syrup (not the flavoring) that they use, and there's no hasgacha on it. They even brought a box out (plain brown box) for me that simply said "made for starbucks" on it. When I tried to ask starbucks who made it, they wouldn't tell me, and of course the OU will only tell you what they have under their hasgacha. Basically, it would seem their website is a good starting point and as they seem to operate in facts, one should easily be able to verify if their facts are indeed correct.
